Stop the thread hijacking with the incessant Koch Bros. posts. They have absolutely nothing to do with Ron Paul.

I found lots of citations where Mr Cain speaks about federal spending.

"Cain said he favors an across-the-board cut to federal spending of, perhaps, ten percent." and many others...they are out there if you spend a few minutes.

Can't speak to the Bilderberg conspiracy thing, as I couldn't find any objective sources. Plenty of conspiracy from both left and right. I'll keep looking though.

But that is to be expected of someone who believes in big government and attended the Bilderberg meetings

Perhaps ten percent cut in Federal spending but yet he's going to ADD a 9% national sales tax. Big Deal. As far as I'm concerned Cain should be TOTALLY ruled out if for no other reason than he worked at the Federal Reserve and he was a bankster and SUPPORTED the bankster bailouts! But ADDING another 9% national sales tax only makes him that much MORE undesirable as a candidate.

Not suprisingly the folks at Fox News are dismissing this once again.
Can't wait for the Ron Paul inauguration in 2013...

Cain's 999 plan is troublesome in that his Phase I "999" plan is implemented prior to Phase II when the Fair Tax is implemented before getting rid of the IRS. While 999 sounds good because many of the current taxes would be eliminated, (payroll tax of 15.3%, capital gains, death tax etc.), I'm skeptical of any plan being implemented prior to ending the IRS for obvious reasons.

I agree Cain's previous employment with the Fed in Kansas City is cause for concern. Makes me think he is part of the problem and not part of the solution. In the end, what can one person do? At least Ron Paul will veto bills that don't pass the Constitutional smell test. I have more faith he would be able to get the most done to get us back on track which is why I'll be voting for him again.

Cain's 999 plan means he wants to continue to spend big, just change the way the money comes in.
By the way, a 10% cut in federal spending is a joke. That would not get us to where we need to be. Sounds to me like another one of these "rate cuts".

Agreed, we are in big trouble and we need big changes to government which include massive spending cuts. 10% IS a joke. Who buys into that?

*YAWN* Don't even go there, my mormon dear. As I've said many times, my favorite Republican is Jon Hunstman, and I would absolutely vote for him if he were the GOP nominee.

Plenty of generalities. Nothing specific with examples.
That's the thing about some of these talk show hosts. They know how to excite the fan base. He's very personable and likeable.

Bilderberg isn't a conspiracy. He attended the meetings in 2009.
