I like McCains 3R plan better:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JOHN McCAIN???S 3R ECONOMIC PLAN 2008
Abbreviated version
Progressive Candidate John McCain comes through for America with his 3R economic plan.
In the persona of Theodore Roosevelt, McCain???s plan just makes sense.
1. RETHINK: America must rethink the global views on what America is capable of in our current state of technology, engineering and the demands that face the world.
???RE-Think??? the basic job goals involve the dwindling retirement, health care and social security plans that are failing Americans. With a strong base and a higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP) America has a new bargaining chip in the way we live and the ways we retire.
The framework is already in place through existing laws to make this happen. The Progressive attitude of John McCain to get things done by crossing party lines will resurrect America.
2. REFORM: America must rise to these demands and compete aggressively in a global economy. American people must demand higher quality products and less restricted trade routes for Made in USA components.
The USA will reform its dead manufacturing base to create the most innovative and green-engineered products possible. We will compete in a world market along with other high quality products. Once again, the world needs American success in these new ways of manufacturing.
3. REINVENT: America and Americans must reinvent themselves to reach and maintain these standards and by sheer American ingenuity, control the world???s marketplace in the competitive manner, as we have always been proud to be #1. Can you hear Theodore Roosevelt shouting this?
Americans are going back to a 3R-schooling program where they are paid to reinvent their skills and learn new skills to design and lead their personal LLC, Corporation or joint venture company. That???s easy enough to comprehend and just as easy to implement. The 3R plan is designed as a six-month rapid advancement system. Graduates may return for additional skill enhancements from time to time, or step up after new advanced training in executive management.
McCain???s 3R is about technical, closely monitored and rapid hands on training from pros to create new pros. Thousands of currently-job-displaced ???once leaders in the manufacturing arena??? will be asked to train and play instructor rolls in the 3R plan. Paid, of course, as these new leaders will help create a whole new style of prosperous America. A new guard for Social Security.

The McCain Scenario
Traveling with the candidate in New Hampshire, you see how he could be the GOP nominee.

They say that déjà vu is just a trick of the mind, but I felt otherwise when I got aboard John McCain's "Straight Talk Express" this week. Here was McCain the underdog surrounded once more by seven or eight reporters, answering dozens of questions at length as we rolled through the New Hampshire countryside. Up front, his longtime aide Mark Salter sketched out a plausible scenario for McCain to win here on Jan. 8. Even the messy interior of the RV and the day-old Krispy Kreme donuts smelled the same.
The candidate is 71, "old as dirt," as he likes to say, and shows it, especially in his hands, which still bear the imprint of his five and a half years of captivity in Hanoi, and in his face, where he suffered a bout with skin cancer several years ago. But he's thinner, more disciplined; that coiled energy and sharp mind dispel any idea that he should be disqualified for reasons of age. The spirit and good humor that made him so popular eight years ago up here remain intact, even if the jokes are a little stale. Whatever one thinks of his politics, it's hard not to have a good time with John McCain.
The meltdown of McCain's bloated and pandering campaign last winter was probably a blessing. If he were still the front runner he'd be a sitting duck. Instead he's preparing for a possible sequel to a legendary insurgent campaign in 2000 that for reporters like me was the most fun we ever had in politics.
I don't want to get carried away here, but stranger things have happened than for McCain to be the Republican nominee. If polls are any indication (and they usually aren't), Mike Huckabee will beat Mitt Romney in the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses. But Huckabee's gospel style has little appeal in flinty New Hampshire, and Rudy Giuliani has inexplicably pulled his ads. That would leave McCain a clean shot at a wounded Romney.
In a new Rasmussen poll in the Granite State, McCain has already surged to within four points of Romney, who as the former governor of neighboring Massachusetts has been on the air here for five years. Once again independents gravitate to McCain. Should he even finish a close second, he'll beat the expectations spread, though he arguably needs to win in order to get the money necessary to stagger to the next primary.
That's Jan. 15 in Michigan, which McCain won in 2000 but is often discounted because it's Romney's true home state. Then comes the showdown in South Carolina. In 2000 McCain surged into the lead after his big New Hampshire upset before George W. Bush brought him down in the Palmetto State. But this time McCain wouldn't be facing the consensus choice of the GOP establishment there. He'd be up against Huckabee, who will be strong with South Carolina evangelicals but vulnerable with everyone else.
