Found the following about Mr. Cain among todays fact-check stories:
Herman Cain's Adviser for 9-9-9 Plan is Not an Economist
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.

What Herman Cain Might Not Know About The ‘Chilean Model’
In case you missed Tuesday’s GOP debate, here’s a quick summary: Herman Cain likes talking about his ‘999’ Plan.

He’s also been fond of touting the “Chilean Model” for privatizing Social Security — pitching it as a series of free-market, private savings accounts. But in fact, whether he and his conservative fans realize it or not, Cain is in fact embracing the kind of policy prescription that they have been railing against on certain other subjects throughout this whole campaign.
