The latest Fortune asks whether junior Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker will stir up a Tea Party tempest by trying to work with Democrats in the next session of Congress.
That?s possible, but not probable if the ultimate goal is the one spelled out in the article?s opening paragraph:
“I’m going to find Democrats who’ll come along,” declares Tennessee Republican Bob Corker. The Chattanooga real estate mogul-turned-senator is hoping to cajole folks from across the aisle to embrace his plan to reduce federal spending from 24% to 18% of gross domestic product — in line with federal revenue.
As Corker no doubt sees, the primary problem the federal government faces is overspending ? not a lack of revenue.
