McCain’s new economic plan is all about getting the government out of the financial industry:

“When that is accomplished,” McCain said, “government will relinquish its interest in these private companies. We’re going to get the government out of the business of bailouts and equity stakes and back in the business of responsible regulation.”

Oh, and he’s going to give tax breaks on capital gains. That will help most of us.
