Ryan Budget Is Political Document With No Basis In Reality
It repeals Obamacare. It slashes non-defense spending by $791 billion less than 2011 levels while increasing defense spending by $480 billion.
“This budget is the Republican declaration of class warfare — it protects the elites at the expense of the rest of the country,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee. “By rigging the game in favor of the wealthy and privileged special interests while dismantling the ladder of opportunity for everyone else, it violates the fundamental promise that every hardworking American should have a fair shot at success.”
In other words, Ryan knows that this is a big waste of time. It’s not going anywhere. But he can raise his hands over his head and be applauded by other Republicans for showing how brave he is to slash and burn.
