SEIU Not Surprised That McCain Thinks Economy Is Strong
Today's events on Wall Street will have an impacton this year's presidential election. Unfortunately for John McCain,the research shows that he has not only shown poor judgment onimportant economic issues, but that he sides with corporate interestsover working families on every issue from health care to tax cuts toAmerica's energy crisis to protecting workers'retirement.

McCain's has an anti-working family record in the Senate and his proposals put the burden on working families.
