Any effective measures will be mandatory. Cap-and-spend introduces some flexibility into the program, which is good, but the requirements remain even if there are two ways to meet them. McCain is calling for something that is actually doing something, where Bush is doing something that amounts to doing nothing. Big difference.

Quiet indeed.
