McCain campaign economic advisers and surrogates discussed John McCain's plan for revitalizing the economy and creating new jobs in this campaign press call. Fiorina said that the basis of McCain's economic plan was spurring job creation, adding that most new jobs come from small business. She cited proposals to keep capital gains taxes low to increase access to capital for businesses, for a depreciation schedule that would allow businesses to write off capital expenses in the first year, and for a new health care plan. Martin Feldstein said that McCain's proposals to increase the supply of oil and reduce demand would help lower prices and boost the economy.
