No matter how sorry JohnR and Spence feel about this guy, he's as dumb as a friggin turnip.
He really thinks this is real? This is his plan?

Suppose the plan "works." Just put aside any Constitutional "objections" and any dynamic scoring of effects to economic production and any theoritical predictions of how it may affect the slide to more dependence on a stronger central power, etc., etc., what happens if the national debt is paid and the budget is in balance? If the plan stays in place, we will have arrived at a point where spending is down and taxes are up (which proves that the problem always was spending). The Federal Government will be awash in "revenue." Will it act responsibly? What will it do with all that money? Give it back? Cut taxes? INCREASE SPENDING? Hasn't all the spending to this point been, in the eyes of the spenders, responsible or in the interest of its constituents? What will stop the Federal Government from doing what it has always thought was responsible?
