Morning Road Map
By Michelle Levi and Steve Chaggaris
Both candidates begin a week-long focus on the economy today. OBAMA starts off with what the campaign is calling a "Discussion on Economic Security for American Families" in Charlotte, N.C. at 10:30 am.
McCAIN will tackle the subject at a town hall meeting in Denver at 2pm ET. According to prepared remarks released by the campaign, McCain will criticize both OBAMA and the Bush Administration. “Senator Obama's tax increases will hurt the economy even more, and destroy jobs across this country,” McCain will say. “His plan will hurt the American worker and family. It will hurt the economy and cost us jobs… At a time of increasing gas and food prices, American families need tax relief and I, not my opponent, will deliver it.” He's also expected to say, “this Congress and this Administration have failed to meet their responsibilities to manage the government. Government has grown by 60 percent in the last eight years. That is simply inexcusable. When I'm president, I will order a stem to stern review of government, modernize how it does business and save billions of dollars. I will veto every single bill with wasteful spending.”
