Republican Congressional Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan is back with another budget that hits up the elderly and the poor to pay for the Republicans' giveaways to the rich and corporations. Watch it.
Paul Ryan's budget plan calls for the implementation of a libertarian agenda.... The 1% benefits and all of the rest of the public loses rights and monies. This is a totally egotistical and self-interest approach for changing this country and so as to take it back to a time similarly to the wild, wild west. Mr. Ryan's mentors, the Koch brothers, are the ones who have planned this with the conservatives without consciences for years. After all, these are the ones who created the Tea Party to carry out this agenda and they have used ALEC to enact laws on the state level to support this scheme. In my mind we our blessed to have a President who sees what is going on and is working hard to stop these people in their tracks. He does, however, need us to do our due diligence so that we vote for congressional members who really represent us and not the wealthy lobbyists who are a bunch of greedy individuals. Maybe Paul Ryan won't me re-elected since the Wisconsinites are sick of the GOP/Tea Party as evidenced by the recall of Scott Walker, another protege of the Koch brothers, and four GOP Senators. This group may have the power money offers but the rest of us have people power which at times trumps money. As shown by the outcries about the death of Trayvon by people from many different backgrounds. The GOP/Tea Party's goal is to divide people while the progressive goal is to unite people and respect the diversity.

Duck and Rob Oregon are correct, its the same GOP garbage in a new package that gives tax cuts to the wealthy and increases the budget deficit. Spare me the terrible details because I have heard enough of their GOP lies. This budget is a fraud thrust upon the middle class.The Ryan budget will decimate middle class programs like Medicare for Seniors and Medicaid for the poor. The important thing to remember is that all this and much MORE is being cut or gutted all so that the top two percent can get more tax cuts from the GOP. The GOP is out to destroy middle class America. The GOP is anti-women, anti-Hispanic, anti-middle class, and anti-American.

The Ryan plan also INCREASES the deficit emensely. Some talk says it may not even make it out of the House not to mention they know it will never make it through the Senate. More smoke and mirrors waste of time and money to get Ryans name out there. Another 15 minutes of stupidity.

I saw a good thing on the other 98% about the ryann plan to gut america. It was talking about the cuts and the benefits to the wealthy. I still cant believe people are cheering for this plan that takes away from the average american and gives to the weathy. Over 11 years of tax cuts for the job creators and now they want to give these high rollers more while the average american gets the shaft. I have a friend who is fed employee and if these a$$es win in the fall I am going to laugh my a** off as the ryan plan cuts federal wages, benefits, retirement benefits, and pensions. I will say you wanted billy boy now you have it and I hope you love it. It still puts me in wonder how people vote against their own interest. The ryan plan again attacks the poor and the seniors, and increases the debt by about 5.5 trillion in 10 years and leaves this country in another gop=tea bagger recession. The gop=tea baggers feel that everyone is out to take away all their goodies and they dont care that others starve or go without so they can have that extra penney in their pay check. The ryan will make seniors pay more for their meds, for their extra health insurance, and have less for food and shelter. Ryan said he wants all americans to have a chance to pull themselves up by their boot straps but when he takes away their boots how can they pull themselves up. People need to read his last plan and this one as he just double downs on cuts and then increases the give aways to the wealthy. His plan doesnt really say what tax loop holes he wants to close, but it is being said he want to cut mortgage interest, increase the amount for medical payments which means the amount you can deduct will be lower as the difference of non allowed will be higher which lower the amount that is taken off you taxes. This is now 3000.00 and if you have 5000.00 you get a 2000.00 deduction and if he raises it to 5000.00 in medical and you spend 5000.00 you have ZERO deductions. So this is an attack on the seniors who pay for medicare, part D, and extra insurance so we will see a net increase in out taxes. so much for the respect of our seniors.
just my humble views

Ryan seems confident right now for some reason. And Romney just embraced Ryan's budget. We know the koch's are paying them both child support to win the election. What are the odds of Romney picking Ryan for his vp? Or even Rand Paul...his old dad Ron, is trying to blaze a trail and is not for himself......Romney said," I'm not concerned about the poor." He couldn't find a stronger advocates of hate, prejudice, racism. Then either man. The perfect ticket for the destruction of the poor and women.............

The Ryan budget is not a budget at all. It's an anarchist manifesto for destroying America and replacing it with a corporatist monarchy - long live King Koch! It's time for intelligent and thoughtful voters to get off the porch and take out the GOP garbage - freshman tea-baggers along with their perverted Republican ideology. Real patriots don't hate our government!
