Paul Ryan's Plan for a Dismal Future

[Joanne98]

The House GOP leadership has settled on a list of budget cuts for 2011 to keep their Tea Party allies happy. They are categorized here at the Washington Post. These are the tip of the conservative sword aimed at government and the public. Except for cuts to the State Department, Agriculture subsidies and Homeland Security, the cuts target programs that are of aid to Americans who need aid now probably more than at any time in their lives. To insult the injury, the GOP proposes to increase defense spending while cutting VA funding.

It's a typical conservative approach to budgeting. Cut services to those in need after having passed tax cuts for people who aren't in need. But it's just the tip of the Titanic sinking sized iceberg they aim to put in our path. That iceberg has a name. It's Paul Ryan.

Paul Ryan, the Republican wunderkind fiscal genius and now House Budget Committee Chairman has carte blanche to implement his Roadmap For America in House budget planning. Since it's entirety or parts of it may be coming our way very soon, we'd best understand what it will mean. We'd best understand it before it gets to the President's desk.

Republicans don't normally talk about policy detail, and for good reason. People generally do not like GOP/conservative policies when they actually get to hear them.
