and we give you some extra cash while you train to be a Wal Mart cashier!

8. The trick is GETTING a job at WalMart. I read where there were over a couple
of hundred people applying for 32 positions at one of their stores.

They make it seem like you can walk in any where and just start work. He has no clue.

6. And that's because it is! Because, uh, who's retraining you?
And is your employer offering you benefits (which sorry, under McCain's plan, will be subject to income tax--yeah, I know! A tax increase on the working class!) And if not, will you be able to afford health care (um--well, if you can wait a year until tax time....otherwise, people concerned about food, rent and the light bill might be doing without--talk about a "your money or your life" plan!)

So, here's what, in a thinking person's real world, would have to happen--you have to prove you are training to get your benefit. What would that entail, if you could get some training besides on-th-job training which would be, um *working*? A certification program or something? And then you'd have to send in a copy of your certificate? Viola! A government program with a bureaucracy and forms and paper pushers! See, that was easy.

McCain is ballocks. Just ballocks. Nuttier than Jif.

7. I think he was trying to do a "one thing you can do is check
the air in your tires" type of stop-gap remedy, but his idea is stupid. LOL
