Coburn deficit plan offers $9 trillion in savings
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) on Monday released a plan that he says would achieve $9 trillion in deficit savings over the next decade through a combination of far-reaching spending cuts, entitlement reform and increased tax revenue.
“This plan offers the American people 9 trillion reasons to stop making excuses and start solving the problems in Washington,” Coburn said at a Monday afternoon news conference announcing the 600-plus-page plan. “I have no doubt that both parties will criticize this plan, and I welcome that debate. But it’s not a legitimate criticism until you have a plan of your own.”

I just received the plan in my email. I have yet to review very much of it, but this contains a huge amount of details. It is my understanding that this plan will not make everyone happy, but it contains elements that both political have said they want. Look it over and advise your thoughts.
Here is the link to a section by section of the report:
