Krugman on the Ryan plan.
------------------------------
Paul Krugman - New York Times Blog

Who Do You Love, Part II



Paul Ryan’s Roadmap for America’s Future has drawn a lot of admiring commentary from self-described reasonable conservatives — which just goes to show that no matter how many times Lucy pulls away the football, Charlie Brown will keep on trying to kick it.

In fact, the plan is a huge gift to the very, very well off, while actually raising taxes for 60 percent of tax units.

Oh, and the claims that it’s fiscally responsible are phony; basically, Ryan pulled a fast one by having the CBO evaluate his spending proposals but not his revenue-bleeding tax proposals.

I love it. The R's screw us in favor of the rich again. Yippie.
I love getting trickled down on. He wants to end SS and MC, too. What's not to like?
