Douglas Holtz-Eakin said the only similarity between McCain’s economic plan and Bush’s is a commitment to keep taxes low. “Sadly, it seems that is all President Bush understood in the economy,” Holtz-Eakin said in an interview to be broadcast this weekend on Bloomberg Television’s “Conversations with Judy Woodruff.” It is Barack Obama‘s budget plan, not Senator McCain’s, that resembles Bush’s policies, he said. “It’s dedicated to the recent Bush tradition of spending money on everything,” Holtz-Eakin said.
