Robert McIntyre of Citizens for Tax Justice wins the prize for Most Succinct Summary of House Budget Committee Chairman’s FY 2013 Budget Plan released on Tuesday: “He’s a phony. But he’s always been a phony.“
There are numerous more or less polite takedowns of Ryan’s plan, but McIntyre gets to the heart of the matter. When Rep. Ryan says he wants to reduce federal deficits, he’s a phony. When Ryan says he wants to save Medicare and Medicaid, he’s a phony. When Ryan says he cares about helping the poor, he’s a very big phony.
Sure would be nice if the voters of Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District who voted for Barack Obama over John McCain in 2008 could elect a congressman who would work with, not against, Obama.
