Frankly, I don’t really care if Cain’s plan is questionable. As he observed about abortion, Congress is the one that advances legislation: the President just signs or vetoes it.
The 9-9-9 Plan is just a plan without Congressional support. What it does do is show that Cain will sign out-of-the-box tax and revenue bills, giving us hope for reform.
Establishment candidates will preserve the Establishment. Cain is a Tea Party candidate, even if it’s ‘proved’ that the 9-9-9 Plan is totally impractical.
Impractical and politically unfeasible are two different things to me. I usually don't like candidates that promise things they cant deliver like this, but 9-9-9 is worth debating.
I pinged you on another thread to point out that giving voters more popular candy when they are losing their jobs for votes is just more Bush/Obama BS. That is Obama's whole campaign now.
What I find sorely missing is a real debate on what can make us more competitive so we don't have to be terrified of trade deals like we are now.
