Pulling policy from rhetoric when listening to a politician isn't always easy. Good thing we got it on tape! Here are the fourteen concrete "I will" statements I found in McCain's economic policy speech in Denver on July 7th.

1. Make it easier for small businesses to grow and create jobs
2. Won't raise taxes-- will cut them where he can
3. Raising taxes in a bad economy eliminates jobs-- won't let that happen
4. Will double the child tax deduction from $3,500 to $7,000 for every dependent in every family
5. Will expand markets for goods and services, as with Crocs, the shoe company
6. Will reform unemployment insurance and retrain workers using community colleges-- will make up difference in wages between a worker's temporary job while they train for a better on and their old job
7. Do a stem to stern review of government, modernize how it does business, and save billions
8. Will veto bills with pork and shame those involved with them
9. Produce more of our own oil and gas to pressure market prices down
10. Create at least 45 new Nuclear Power plants, creating 700,000 jobs (including construction)
11. Develop clean coal technology, employing 30,000 in demonstration projects
12. Support gas free cars and create high tech jobs in the auto industry
13. Support wind and solar power development
14. Put the country ahead of personal and partisan interests
