Disappointed AND surprised? His contuinuing support of TARP, his support of Romney, his warning that his tax plan is revenue neutral, his refusal to support auditing of the Fed, etc. all provided reasons NOT to surprised. He’s a typical politiician in so many ways.
His 999 plan (why pick 999 - a figure that is SOO sensitive to so many) has always been a negative with me. Any one who advocates an income AND a consumption tax is on a different wave length from me.
