Robbing Peter to Pay Paul (Ryan)

Old news to some, new to others: worth reading in either case. Paul Ryan's budget funneled cash to himself and his family, while adding to the deficit. Good stuff to use on the wingnuts in your life: http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/robbing-peter-to-pay-paul-ryan/

Here's another: the peters are supposed to be doing the screwing, but Ryan is screwing the peters. That is just plain bass-ackwards and wrong, not to mention perverse.
