How is he going to do that?
They are elected officials, but Cain has elevated the idea that representation can go to hell.
We'll just rely on a hand select "Super Committee"
He has in his own proposal elevated them as the voice of America.
"Not my fault if they make a bad call"
Color me skeptical of the 999 plan.
The select committee only operates at the will of the current treasury head. A victory for Cain or any other Conservative (Perry, Pawlenty, etc) would mean a rejection of Obama’s agenda. To get the numbers for a Presidential win, that means you would have greater Republican turn out, and thus, it won’t just be the Presidency that is affected but house and senate races as well.
It would also be a swift kick into the general attitude of Obama’s theories. He has put all his cards down and if they are rejected, the Dems would be afraid to go back there for a while lest they also lose their jobs.

See, I read Cain’s reference to the this a different way. It seems to me he is approaching a problem with a solution that will work in the mold that congress has set to work in for the time being.
We’ve done a lot of griping about Obozo’s delusions of monarchy, and his constant usurping of the 3 branches of government.
I don’t see this as any different than any other committee used in congress to hammer out a bill before it goes up before the whole of Congress. It also puts them in the game so to speak, and doesn’t seem nearly so much like commands from on high like we get from the idiot, and his czars.
I am also pretty sure neither the house or the Senate will look the way it does today after President Cain’s inauguration, so who’s to say a “Super Committee” isn’t a broad sampling of both houses, and folks whose judgement we trust? I could easily trust the recommendation of some guys named Rand Paul, Demint, Ryan, and a lovely young woman named Bachmann.
