Who’s Serious Now?

[Gerald]

Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, sounds upset. And you can see why: President Obama, to the great relief of progressives, has called his bluff.

Last week, Mr. Ryan unveiled his budget proposal, and the initial reaction of much of the punditocracy was best summed up (sarcastically) by the blogger John Cole: “The plan is bold! It is serious! It took courage! It re-frames the debate! The ball is in Obama’s court! Very wonky! It is a game-changer! Did I mention it is serious?”

Yep, even the CBO says Ryan's plan in the end cuts less than a billion, that it's nothing but a trade off, get rid many social programs, medicare so you can give corporations massive tax cuts and still do nothing about the shelters and loopholes.

I hate the GOP, I hate the Dems, basically government is nothing but a legal mafia with politicians doing hits for special interest.

The differences between the two political parties is getting closer while the public divide is getting larger. That does not bode well for our country.

thats not a surprise to me because it was never about the budget. The GOP just didn't want to waste a good crisis to give more money to their rich buddies and push their social dogma.

What about "no lose ends"
