Herman Cain says his much-touted 9-9-9 plan is the product of extensive testing and thinking, but the only man he cited as involved with its research — Rich Lowrie of Cleveland, Ohio — is not a trained economist.
To summarize Politico: Cain says this guy is an economist, but he isn’t, and Cain says he won’t release the names of any of his other economic advisers because he doesn’t “want to compromise their confidentiality at this point”.
All Cain has is the economy. He can at least do that right and pretend the 9-9-9 tax plan wasn’t chosen the same way I picked my Tumblr background: I found it personally amusing.
