In a recent campaign ad (watch it here), John McCain acknowledges that we're worse off now than we were four years ago. Not surprisingly, he doesn't go back to the end of the Clinton administration for comparison sake. What is striking, however, is his claim that he'll "battle big oil," if elected president.
Given McCain's stances on offshore drilling, continuing government oil subsidies, lowering corporate tax rates, in addition to his huge campaign contributions from the oil industry, I have to wonder what kind of battle we'd really witness.
