All we heard for month after month is “Just wait until the Debates, Ted Cruz is a Master Debater and he will lay waste to all opponents”.
Well, we’re waiting....
Cruz hasn’t made the sale even on FR, now you’re trying to tell us that if only he could spend oh, a few hours explaining the nuanced details of his wonky tax plan, it would devastate Trump? Right....
Magna cum Laude Rafael cannot even add. Here is what he says Under the Cruz Simple Flat Tax, all income groups will see a double-digit increase in after-tax income. Let us repeat. ALL And the generally accepted meaning of all is all, assuming you are not operating on the Clinton definition of "is."
You cannot cut the tax rate on ALL Americans to 10% above 36,000 without collecting a vastly reduced amount of revenue, meaning that the deficit goes up even more.
Oh but he will cut spending you say. yes, he has a plan for that too. the Cruz plan re-institutes President Reagan’s Grace Commission to assess federal spending levels and evaluate areas of waste and fraud. Ted Cruz would appoint private-sector leaders to serve on a commission that, as President Reagan put it, would “work like blood hounds†to improve government efficiency. .
All good stuff, I am sure. Anyone ever try to count all the commissions already existing in Washington DC with private sector leaders telling the government what to do. Commissions aren't an answer. They are a cop-out. They are how guys who don't want to take the political heat kick the can down the road. See - I am doing something. I have appointed a blue ribbon commission. Top men! All of them!
And two years from now they publish a report and everyone yawns and it sits on a shelf collecting dust like the reports of all the other commissions ever appointed.
And lyin' head-inside-the-beltway Rafael knows that.
Ever hear Trump talk about a commission. No. He knows what leadership and accountability and getting something done means.
