Mack was an awful candidate, but the Penny Plan is a good one. Voters were on our side from 2009-2010 when we presented logical, fair solutions to our problems. In 2012, we stopped doing that for some reason. Why Mack wasn’t pushing this plan during his campaign is beyond my understanding. Why Romney and Mack didn’t champion it together in FL is also foolish. As usual some idiot consultants were against it, so they both ran listless campaigns.
The Penny plan is a fair solution. For the sake of this sequestration, proposing it only on discretionary would even be sufficient. Our financial woes will not be solved in one bill considering a Reid Senate and Obama White House.
Karl Rove comes to mind. Why anyone listens to consultants like him is beyond me. Republicans would be better off taking political advice from a telemarketer.
