It cuts more and balances faster than the Ryan Plan did. The Ryan Plan had 14 co-sponsors, was brought to the floor of the House for a vote, passed, sent to the Senate and was rejected. This plan has 48 co-sponsors, yet was never brought to the House floor for a vote. Given that it has 34 more co-sponsors than the Ryan Plan had, it would easily have passed in the House. So why wasn’t it brought to the House floor? Because the House knew, beyond any doubt whatsoever, that it would never pass in the Senate.
With all the competing and last-minute plans that have been introduced, and all the behind-closed-door meetings, the goal has always been for the Republican House to compromise with Obama and Reid. The One Cent Solution plan was the strongest of any of the plans (including CCB and the Ryan Plan), and should have been the hill on which we went down fighting. But the fix was always in, compromise WILL happen, and it’s not going to be pretty.
We can all lobby our Representatives to co-sponsor the One Cent Solution Plan, we can all sign petitions demanding it be brought to the floor for a vote. If we succeeded, it would pass the House and then Reid would table it in the Senate. I’m not saying we shouldn’t try, but I am saying I don’t see the point. I’m willing to be persuaded otherwise, because this pessimism sure isn’t fun.
RATS want economic chaos, they benefit from it. To hell with their country.
