		<description>[$2 trillion eh? Not bad for a bloke who says he wants to reign in government spending and sees government intervention as ideologically bad.]
That was his latest stunt.

And remember, these are BAD DEBTS, so this effectively means tax payers would never get anything back, and would be subsidising the homes of people who can&#039;t afford to pay back their home loans. It is a huge Federal Housing Scheme. McCain should&#039;ve said his hero was FDR.</description>

		<description>[how will McCain pay for what he promises? The US is broke, so the money has to come from somewhere.]
He would get the Treasury Secretary to sell more Government bonds to China and Japan.

That&#039;s how they got the $700 billion for the bail out.</description>
