The Scary Economic Chart of the Day and Tom Coburn’s Puzzling Plans
When we conservatives said that the President’s big government madness were sucking job-producing dollars out of the economy, even before we feel the full effects of programs like Obamacare next year and the year after and the year after, we really weren’t kidding.
Note that the much-ballyhooed Gang of 9 super-compromise plan does nothing at all to address the obvious Obamacare problem. In fact, it does nothing much to address any of the problems that currently sit squarely in front small business owners. Senator Tom Coburn, one of the gang members, has gone through what would be a budget if the Senate Democrats ever felt like doing their jobs and found $9 trillion worth of cuts we could put into place immediately. These cuts would do a good sight more for job creation than anything in the Gang of Six plan to which he’s very publicly hitched his wagon. Why he decided to tie himself to that instead of a far more defensible plan is well beyond me.
