McCain willing to make tough choices to tighten spending

The Jobs for America economic plan was at the crux of a press conference call held by Senator John McCain's presidential campaign. Former president and CEO of eBay, Inc. Meg Whitman and Senior Policy
Adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin discussed McCain's plan for the U.S. economy.

Whitman said that McCain is concerned with job security and the direction the economy is taking. She says that McCain wants to get the economy back on track by focusing on job creation, particularly in
small businesses. According to Whitman, this will involve spurring innovation around research and development as well as making tough choices to tighten spending. Whitman says McCain supports small
businesses as he knows they help create jobs.

Holtz-Eakin added that McCain has built his policy to ensure Americans get better health care and that a comprehensive energy policy is put in place to address the need for environmental security. When
questioned as to why McCain has never explicitly said he would balance the budget by 2013, Holtz-Eakin replied that McCain plans to balance the budget by the end of his term and this would happen as quickly as when the Democrats 'come to the table.' (11:19)
