Tom Coburn's Plan

If there's one Senator who stands for smaller government, it's Tom Coburn. Should Republicans gain victory in the Congress, it will be because the electorate wanted to stop wasteful spending, and no one is a stonger advocate than Coburn. Coburn has a simple plan should the GOP win the congress, but before that, he issues a strong warning:

For Republicans, the most important question leading into November is not how many seats we might gain, but what will we do if we gain them. Having lived through the rise and fall of the 1994 Republican Revolution I'm convinced that if the Republican Party does not reform itself this time, it will die. It will no longer exist and I won't be a part of it.

Coburn's plan is simple: cut waste and eliminate earmarks - he has a few more specifics in his piece. Republicans wold be wise to listen to the man.
