I apologize, I’m trying not to make assumptions. His plan, at his web site, explicitly states that phase one enhanced is to be “passed” by the supercommittee. What I put in my comment was the quote from his plan.
The rest is conjecture as to why he thinks the supercommittee can pass anything, or why if he really meant “recommend”, he thinks his plan should be built in secret by a 12-member committee and then sent to the house and senate to be passed without debate or amendment. I say THAT because the debt ceiling bill that created the supercommittee mandated that their recommendations be treated that way.
So the Cain proposal calls for his 9-9-9 plan to be passed by the supercommittee, which if he means “recommended” would require a house and senate vote with no amendment or debate.
Now, if I know that, Cain certainly knows that. So why did he say “pass”, and why doesn’t he want debate or amendment?
And since the supercommittee is going to finish their work in the next few weeks, when is Cain going to send his proposal to them in legislative form so they could “pass” it?
