McCain decries out of control federal spending in SC
In Florence South Carolina John McCain blamed runaway federal spending and warned against short term stimulus plans as unemployment rose to 6.6 percent in December and the state faced its largest one month jobs drop in nearly two decades. He proposed corporate tax cuts to 25 percent and extending tax cuts while opposing widespread tax rebates. He urged long term solutions and said he would work with Bush on a stimulus package but first needed restraint on spending. Huckabee challenged tax shift ideas claiming a national sales tax would force all to pay taxes and referenced social issues. Polls showed McCain and Huckabee in a tight race with Romney third, voters naming the economy as top issue.
