Al, > No need for denial...i asked you to prove it and you posted a Mother Jones article. Along with other links. Here's more, courtesy of the WSJ. Go ahead and ignore this one, too. I love watching you blow your top over the facts: online.wsj.com Within two days of the retreat, Obama budget director Peter Orszag had begun deflecting questions about the White House's ugly budget by hammering on Mr. Ryan's plan, claiming it "shifted costs" to families. Congressional Democrats held a conference call with reporters devoted to road map trashing, howling that it showed that Republicans would privatize Social Security, voucherize Medicare, and give tax breaks to the wealthy. Speaker Nancy Pelosi lambasted the Ryan plan in a speech to the Democratic National Committee. Democrats used it to turn the health discussion, claiming it was hypocritical of Republicans to hit Democrats for slashing Medicare when Mr. Ryan's plan would also cut the program. They used it to stoke populist fears. California's Loretta Sanchez claimed the road map would both "privatize" Social Security and leave it to the "whims of Wall Street."
