McCain Aide Says Bush Knows Little About Economy (Update1)

By Matthew Benjamin

June 6 (Bloomberg) -- George W. Bush's policies on the economy, other than on taxes, have been a failure, suggested John McCain's top economic policy adviser.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin said the only similarity between McCain's economic plan and Bush's is a commitment to keep taxes low.

``Sadly, it seems that is all President Bush understood in the economy,'' Holtz-Eakin said in an interview to be broadcast this weekend on Bloomberg Television's ``Conversations with Judy Woodruff.'' It is Barack Obama's budget plan, not Senator McCain's, that resembles Bush's policies, he said.

``It's dedicated to the recent Bush tradition of spending money on everything,'' Holtz-Eakin said.

This is the latest and most aggressive effort by the McCain campaign to distance the candidate from the unpopular policies of Bush. Illinois Senator Obama has charged that a McCain victory in November would amount to a third Bush term on economics. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
