The only way this plan could work is if it were tied to an amendment that has a balanced budget and a spending cap. Without that, just like Europe the politicians will spend more and raise the rates. The European VAT started out between 4-6% now most countries have raised it to 20+%.
No surprise the other GOP neo-cons are attacking it because they like big government just like their brethren in the Democrat party and want to maintain the status quo.

Forget the grandstanding Lamar. Introduce a bill that will defund anything in the USDA outside of inspection or control of plant and animal disease involved in interstate commerce. All the other BS needs to go like rural development and several other of the USDA agencies below. If farmers want those services then let them pay for them. It's not in the powers of the federal government to use the tax law to redistribute assets to a chosen group for vote buyng. Had the government not intruded where it has no jurisdiction then we wouldn't be discussing Pigford now.

There's a special place in hell for the bribed criminals in DC who voted for Pigford knowing full well the facts from all the coverage and Americans screaming at their phones to stop the madness in the days leading up to the vote.
Even if the Republicans can repeal the funding the criminal lie-awyers will file a suit like ACORN did to force reinstatement of the "cash cow" so to speak. To progressives and lie-awyers, government wealth redistribution programs are rights.
