McCain on spending

Presidential hopeful John McCain on Monday stressed the need to fight wasteful government spending and held fellow Republicans accountable for Washington excess.

"We did some good things," the four-term Arizona senator said in prepared remarks. "But we left some big things undone because they were too hard and too politically risky."

McCain said the GOP forgot "who we were: tight-fisted stewards of the federal treasury who keep our priorities straight. We asked Americans to make us the governing party, and we rewarded them by becoming the party of government."

More than a little truth to this criticism.
