Coburn: Hopes for Former Gang of Six Plan
The proposal includes $1 trillion in new revenue, but like Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad’s budget proposal, it would be scored as cutting taxes because it would end expensive annual fixes to the Alternative Minimum Tax, senators involved in the discussions said.
It includes an immediate $500 billion in spending cuts that could function as a stand-alone proposal, backers added.
“The plan has moved significantly, and it’s where we need to be,” said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., a one-time member of the Gang of Six who walked out of the group’s talks this spring.
Coburn said the proposal could reach the key threshold of 60 votes in the Senate. Other senators were more circumspect, with Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo. , saying a “large number of senators are prepared to move on a comprehensive plan.”
But the proposal is not yet legislation, or public, and with both Senate leadership offices cool to it as they work to craft their own fallback bill, and the House likely to oppose the taxes included in the proposal, it remains a longshot for immediate action.
Coburn indicated he had rejoined the gang.

“We’ve gone from a Gang of Six to a mob of 50,” exulted Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.), as he emerged from the meeting. The proposal, Manchin said, “shows great promise.”
“I will support it. It is a fair compromise,” added Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.). “This is a way forward where we can do the work that we have come here to do.”
Details of the plan were sketchy and it was not immediately clear how the proposal might be combined with existing debt-limit strategies. As described by its creators, the framework calls for $500 billion in immediate spending cuts as a downpayment on a broader debt-reduction effort that would be carried out largely by existing legislative committees.
Gang of Six plan punts on key details
The Gang of Six plan unveiled to senators on Tuesday punts on key details, including exactly how it would reform Social Security and Medicare, according to a detailed outline obtained by The Hill.
The plan adopts a two-track approach: a $500 billion down payment and a later reform bill generating an additional $3.2 trillion in deficit reduction. That later bill is largely left up to committees of jurisdiction, and they are only required to meet specific savings targets.
On healthcare entitlements, the plan would seek to hold the growth of spending to GDP plus 1 percent per beneficiary, but it largely leaves it up to committees to decide how to achieve the savings.
The plan would be held at the Senate desk until a Social Security fix is found, and if that fix does not get the 60 votes required, the rest of the deficit plan is voided. The reform must ensure 75 years of solvency for Social Security, according to the Gang of Six, but how to achieve that is left up to the Finance Committee. If Finance cannot agree, a group of 10 senators — five from each party — can bring a reform bill to the floor.
The plan...

Details of the plan emerge:
1) Spending caps won’t apply to entitlement programs
2) No Medicare or Medicaid reform
3) Plan targets some IRAs and 401(k)’s
4) Entire plan is based on dubious budget math
