A couple of years. But Reagan's tax rates were considerably higher than the 9-9-9 plan. And he ran significant deficits throughout his whole time in office.

Because of consistent increases in baseline spending but also because of the repair to the military after Carter got through with it, because of the need to modernize it, and because his tax rate cuts were phased in over 3 years instead of immediately.

OK, so identify the 60%+ of current federal spending that you would do away with immediately to avoid the same thing under a Cain tax plan.
