David Plouffe Tries to Tie Paul Ryan Budget Plan to Mitt Romney
Obama Adviser Tries to Tie Paul Ryan Budget Plan to Mitt Romneyhttp://www.rollcall.com/news/obama-adviser-tries-tie-paul-ryan-budget-mitt-romney-213389-1.html
President Barack Obama’s senior adviser, David Plouffe, repeatedly denigrated House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) just-released budget plan on Sunday news shows and sought to tie it to presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
“This is really the Romney-Ryan plan. It will be rubber-stamped if Mitt Romney is president,” he said on “Fox News Sunday,” a quote he echoed on other news programs.
“All it does is drastically cut kind of indiscriminately in areas that will help the economy and showers the wealthy with big tax cuts,” Plouffe added on ABC’s “This Week.”

When asked whether wealthy Americans would disproportionately benefit from his plan, Ryan said he did not know.
