Ping!
I like this, but why not go with a “five penny plan”, where 2c goes to pay down the debt and 3c goes toward tax cuts?
Get off the drugs and stop rewarding people for bad behavior, you just get more of it.
Comment makes no sense in the context of the above posting.
Are you responding to a different thread?
When the history of this financial crisis is written, future historians will marvel at why when in such a debt hole, the leaders of Europe (and America) refused to stop digging.
[Ref: First Rule Of Holes: ‘When you find yourself in a hole...’]
>>>>Governor Palin should frankly indict the GOP leadership for its lack of leadership and its irresolute response to the worst crisis to confront our country since the Civil War. She should analogize the behavior of the GOP elites in Washington to those she vanquished in Juneau and Anchorage. It is a case she can and must make if she is to become the 45th President.
If Palin were to endorse such a plan, I would support it, because I believe in her willingness to actually do whatever she promises to do. But, and this is no small caveat, I honestly think that she recognizes the unconstitutionality of the bulk of what the federal government does. (Depts. of Ed., Ag., Energy, etc..) I would therefore be surprised if she didn’t immediately begin dismantling same after she is elected. Would I be disappointed if she didn’t? A little. Would I settle for what you have outlined above? For a time, but the fight to restore the Constitution must continue ad infinitum, amen.
To get any plan like this passed first we have to kill baseline budgeting. That 1% cut would be communicated by the rats as a 20% cut because they’ll base it on future years planned spending.
I believe Nixon brought us this baseline budgeting crap...so it’s only fair we clean up after ourselves and get rid of that garbage and go to a regular budget.
I believe what you are advocating is a doubling of the Connie Mack plan,Connies plan is the 1 cent plan that will bring the budget in line in 6 years,i like the idea of doubling it.

If you’ve followed his posts for very long, you must realize that he has adopted the nonsequitur as his modus operandi.
Very good Plan easily understandable and simple. I would add a Flat tax @ 17% (per S Forbes) onto this and yo have a winning platform.
The GOP needs a solid leader like Palin, no more linguine-spined RINOS like Boner of McConnell. The GOP get’s a solid leader who is a conservative they will do great things. Excellent post Brice!
Great post. Good work.
Didn’t Rand Paul propose the penny plan recently?
org.whodat forgot that when you’re on a Palin thread you’re supposed to treat it as a worship service.
“the unconstitutionality of the bulk of what the federal government does. (Depts. of Ed., Ag., Energy, etc..)”
You are reading my mind. Whole agencies of this government should be shut down, never to rise from the ashes ever again. We should also stop funding our enemies starting with the UN.
