PRESS CALL: NEW CAPAF Report on John McCain and Job Creation

*Read the report
here*<http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/mccain_jobs1.pdf>

WASHINGTON, DC—Today at 12:30 PM, the Center for American Progress Action
Fund will hold a conference call to discuss a new report on John McCain's
economic plan. Given today's stark news of 159,000 jobs lost in September,
this report will shed an important light on McCain's job creation claims.

The report, by CAPAF Senior Policy Advisor Brian Levine, reveals that
McCain's plan will not create a meaningful number of jobs in the short-term.
The situation in America's labor market cries out for urgent action but
McCain has no answer. The report analyzes the corporate tax breaks that make
up John McCain's "economic stimulus" plan and concludes that they create
very few jobs, despite their high cost. A more efficient stimulus plan,
costing the same amount, would create more than four times as many jobs as
the McCain plan. *CAPAF Senior Fellow **Dr. Christian
Weller<http://www.americanprogressaction.org/aboutus/staff/WellerChristian.html>
** and Brian Levine* will discuss the implications of McCain's policies
given the current economic crisis.

*WHAT: Teleconference on John McCain's Economic Policy*

*WHEN: Today, October 3, at 12:30pm*
