Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) Unveils $9 Trillion Deficit Reduction Plan

Today, July 18, 2011, Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) offered a plan to cut the U.S. deficit by $9 trillion over the next 10 years. The Senator's plan includes tax reform measures recommended by the President's own commission on deficit reduction, cuts to defense spending, structural entitlement reform and contains a run-away federal workforce. You might not like this plan, nor the Paul Ryan plan, but it's at least a plan. Democrats have so far refused to put pen to paper.
