Having "raised eyebrows" by calling Social Security an absolute disgrace,
announcing a balanced budget plan that by all reviews didn't add up, skipping
a vote on Medicare to ensure seniors and military families have the health
care they need, and continuing to receive advice from economic policy advisor
Phil Gramm after he said the economic slump is "a mental recession" and that
Americans are a "a nation of whiners," "McCain has had a particularly rough go
of it lately." [Associated Press, 7/9/08; Politico.com, 7/10/08; Boston Globe,

Speaking from their own experiences and expertise, the participants will
discuss how McCain doesn't understand what Americans go through everyday just
to make ends meet and how he supports four more years of a Bush economy that
has been disastrous for so many of America's families.
