McCain wants a stimulus rewrite

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) told "Fox News Sunday" this morning that he 
would not support the stimulus package as the House Democrats have written 
it because it includes too much wasteful spending.

The stimulus currently includes $275 billion in tax cuts and doesn't 
include Republican input or a spending timeline, McCain said. 

"There should be an end point to all of this spending.say two years...The 
plan was written by the Democratic majority in the House primarily. So 
yeah, I think there has to be major rewrites, if we want to stimulate the 
economy," McCain said. "I am opposed to most of provisions in the bill. As 
it stands now. I would not support it." 

McCain wouldn't say whether he would filibuster it. 

"We need serious negotiations," he said. "We're losing sight of what the 
stimulus is all about and that is job creation."

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), however, disagreed with McCain, saying he 
expects a number of Republicans to support the $825 billion stimulus 
package. 

"I think you'll find large number of Republicans behind this," Schumer 
said. "I regret Sen. McCain said he won't be voting for it."
