Republicans can’t meet their own deficit and spending targets
From Ezra Klein in the Washington Post

<http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/republicans_cant_meet_their_own_deficit_and_spending_targets/2011/04/13/AFxhhTIE_blog.html?wprss=ezra-klein>

House Republicans voted to make the Ryan budget law. But the Ryan budget includes $6 trillion in new debt over the next 10 years, which means that to become law, the Ryan budget would require a substantial increase in the debt ceiling. But before the Republicans agree to increase the debt ceiling so that the budget they passed can become law, Republicans are demanding the passage of either a balanced budget amendment that would make the Ryan budget unconstitutional or a spending cap that the Ryan budget would, in certain years (and if you’re using more realistic numbers, in all years), exceed.
