McCain Campaign: Now We Won't Balance Budget in First Term

ABC News, July 7: "At a town hall meeting in Denver, McCain vows to balance the federal budget by 2013, which would be the end of his first term as president."

Bloomberg, July 7: "After the speech, [McCain's senior economic adviser] said: ``The senator has always pledged to balance the budget by the end of his second term.'' A McCain second term would end in 2017."

And let's not forget, this isn't the first time he has abandoned his budget promises. But it's probably the fastest flip-flop in the history of flip-flops. I guess he didn't like that pretty much everybody has recognized that his economic policies aren't to be taken particularly seriously, since he's failed to actually present any numbers and show how he plans on affording everything, including the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest.
