I like Cain, but how does 9-9-9 stop the government from spending more than it takes in? That’s the plan I’m looking for. It’s like taking a second job to balance your budget, but having no idea what you make or spend. You can make all the money you want and still never balance your budget. It’s a solution to a problem, but not the problem that matters.
That’s one drawback of 999. It has overshadowed some other policy discussion. Cain, Bachmann and Paul have all vowed to balance the budget their very first year.
