"I call on the Super Committee to pass the Phase 1 Enhanced Plan along with their spending cut package"Cain's PLAN calls for the supercommittee to pass Phase 1 Enhanced (the 9-9-9 plan) with their spending cut package.
In order for them to "pass" the plan (which I assume he means include it in their package, because they don't actually "pass" the bill) they would need the plan.
In order for them to get the plan, either Cain has to SEND them a legislative version that they can include, or Cain has to ask them to write his legislation for him.
If Cain does nothing to get the supercommittee to "pass" his plan, then they obviously won't.
Have you seen any indication that the supercommittee is considering his 9-9-9 plan? Or that he has bugged them about it, or written the legislation to give to them?
My guess is that this part of his proposal will just disappear from his web site, and he'll pretend he never asked the supercommittee to pass it.
This isn't the only job he gave to the supercommittee:
• The Super Committee must deliver a robust growth solution • America can’t wait for 2012, we need growth NOW.It is clear that when he published his economic plan, he intended it to get implemented NOW, before he was President. But he hasn't been talking about that lately, so like I said, it looks like that part of his plan is going to just be forgotten.
I've seen no evidence that was his intent or expectations. He's smart enough to know that an appointed committee that has been charged with reducing the deficit is not going to consider a 999 Plan when it's expected to report in less than a month. He has said he would like to see the plan implemented, but he is aware that a major change like that could not even begin until he is in office.
