Ad Watch: Clinton

Sen. Clinton has a new ad out in Indiana. Sticking to her guns, Clinton is the first to go negative in Indiana. The ad highlights Clinton's plan to "take action" on the economy by freezing foreclosures and lifting the gas tax.

Her support for McCain's plan to lift the gas tax is pure pandering to the oters. She claims a tax on the windfall profits from oil companies will off-set the removal of the gas tax, making her proposal revenue neutral, when in all actuality, it the windfall profits tax will not come close to replacing the revenue brought in from the gas tax.

The McCain/Clinton proposal is riddled with economic and enivronmental concerns. Even Clinton's economist and NY Times' columnist cheerleader Paul Krugman takes issue with her proposal to lift the gas tax.
