CLEVELAND (AP) — Republican John McCain promised to pivot from President Bush’s economic policies and impose strict controls on government spending that would spur investor confidence and the stock market’s recovery. “I will protect your savings and retirement accounts and get this stock market rising again,” said McCain, after huddling with economic advisers and pledging a break with Bush administration policies. Aides said that McCain’s call for cuts in the capital gains tax and tax breaks for seniors who invest would help the market.
