Oh Lord, here we go again. The GOP’s alleged boy genius, Ayn Rand fanboy and “zombie-eyed granny starver from Wisconsin” Rep. Paul Ryan, released his latest version of the “Path to Prosperity” aka the “Road to Perdition” budget on Tuesday. This latest version from the GOP’s flim-flam man is even less economically serious than his previous deeply unserious budgets.
The sad part is that the “very serious people” of the Beltway media will continue to portray this charlatan as a very serious person who should be taken oh so seriously — really because he is all that the GOP has to offer by way of an alleged intellectual (sic).
Remember just a few weeks ago when this “good Catholic boy” was talking about how his budget would address poverty and help the poor — while citing the racially charged pseudo-science of eugenics to blame inner-city blacks for poverty? Yeah, about that. I am sure the Nuns on The Bus and the Catholic bishops are going to be as displeased with this budget as they were with the previous iterations of his budget. Somebody is going to be doing a great deal of penance to get right with God.
The New York Times reports, Ryan Budget Would Cut Food Stamps and Medicaid Deeply:
Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin on Tuesday will lay out a tough, election-year budget that he says will come into balance by 2024 [through the use of the magic asterisk again], in large part through steep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps and the full repeal of President Obama’s health care law, just as millions begin to see its benefits.
