You know,...........I agree. One thing about old Coburn, he really is the only true maverick of the politicians. His plan, as stated in the article seems really, really tough but I don't think he's playing political games like most the rest of them.

It'll never fly since he isn't playing the political games. p.s. I most certainly think all of the politicians need to cut their salaries, cut most of their perks, and raise the age of when they can receive their pensions.

Have to see the details, plus the Senator said I couldn't criticize without a plan of my own. I don't have one, so, I'll shut up.
