I have to admit, I am a big fan of Senator Tom Coburn. Not only is he from my home state, but he is also honest and forthright when it comes to doing what he thinks is best for our country. This is not the first time I have featured one of his videos. Some have been interviews, as this one is, and others have been speeches he has made on the floor of the United States Senate. Most of them have had to do with fiscal matters and this latest, from FOX News Sunday, is no exception. Some people may think he is an alarmist about our debt and spending problems. Some of the comments on the article I have linked to on FOX News went so far as to accuse him of wanting to destroy the middle class. If those people who make such uninformed comments would actually watch the interview, they should be able to understand that Coburn is wanting to do no such thing. He is actually concerned about what will happen to the middle class, if measures are not taken to correct the problems we are facing. I was especially intrigued by his statement towards the end of the interview, when asked how he felt about Grover Norquist’s claim that he [Coburn] was snookered by the Democrats into supporting the plan put forth by the deficit commission. It is around the 10:20 mark of the interview and I think you may find his reply interesting and hopefully, a little eye-opening.
