There’s an old saying in American politics — elections are not decided by the producer price index. Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign is jumping on today’s jump in the index, though, with a statement from Economic Policy Director Jason Furman assailing the Bush-McCain economic agenda:
The unexpected jump in the Producer Price Index announced today is just further confirmation of that our economy is failing hard-working American families. This economy may be working for the multimillionaires that John McCain considers part of the middle class, but with prices rising and wages stagnating, tens of millions of typical American families are falling behind.
The Obama campaign is bearing down on Sen. John McCain’s risible statement at the Saddleback forum on Saturday, when he estimated that it takes a whopping $5 million annual income to be rich in America(!) (video below). Furman hit that point again after contrasting the candidates’ economic plans:

John McCain has spent 26 years in Washington, what is his call to fame? In 26 years he had done nothing for the people of Arizona. In 26 he has seen no needs nothing, nada needed in his home state. So what is his plan to help this nation, the same plan he has had for 26 years for the people of Arizona, nothing, zero, and nada. Just think, McCain/Palin economic Plan – Trust Wall St With Social Security. John McCain’s long touted plan for social security is to privatize it. Using the same Wall Street companies that are going under. Do you trust your future to Wall Street! Do you trust your future to John McCain and the lobbyists that are advising him and running his campaign? Here is a list of all of his major campaign workers and the special interests they represent.
