Update on "9 9 9 plan" and other misc.

I have already written about how Herman Cain's 9 9 9 plan has been given the thumbs up by Art Laffer. 

As of today, it has also been given the thumbs up by the Club for Growth, and Paul Ryan as well!!!!

I am a little hesitant considering the fact that one of the best magazines in the world (National Review) has come out against it, but when you read their article, they really just argue that it isn't perfect (which we all knew already), and that there are other options that would work even better, and be better long term solutions.  Well that is wonderful, but until National Review fields a candidate, I think it is most prudent to support the best idea on the table.

Herman Cain's plan for both tax reform, and Social Security reform are unquestionably the best on the table right now.  Paul Ryan does have a more conprehensive entitlement reform package that has already passed the house, but it is dead in the water until we get a new President, and a majority in the Senate.  And it is starting to look like Cain is the man for that job!!  I can be pretty sure that Cain would be more then happy to incorporate Ryan's successful ideas into his own, because Cain has already mentioned Paul Ryan as someone he would be interested in having as his VP candidate. 

National Review did come out in favor of Rick Perry's energy plan.  I do like Perry, and would like to see him improve in the polls, but unfortunately, I don't think he will be able to improve his debating skills quickly, and effectively enough to be able to catch up.  Either way, I hope that whichever one gets the nod does include Perry's plan, or something similar to it.  Leftists have fought against energy development for decades now, and if we could get someone in the White House who could truly cut thru that red tape, the benefits to our economy would be so incredible, that it would destroy the arguements against it.  That is what needs to happen, so that those people can be discredited, and their influence can be discarded.  They have caused enough harm to us already!!
