Even Cain has called his 9-9-9 scheme ‘revenue neutral’. So if we believe Cain his plan will leave us with deficits of between $1 trillion at best and $2 trillion at worst. Yet nowhere on his website does Cain identify the cuts he will make in order to balance the budget. Just vague blathering about ‘making tough decisions’ and ‘nothing off the table’. Well if Cain is the visionary that everyone seems to think he is then he should be able to do better than that.
Cain's 999 tax plan is nothing but a gimmick, a political ploy. Just like his Chilean plan is for SocSec. Cain is pandering to a certain group of voters. Frankly, this is nothing more then a hypothetical exercise anyway. Cain is not going to be the nominee and his gimmicks are headed nowhere.
