A mistake found in the Ryan budget leading to FAR LESS deficit reductions than originally thought!!!

It was a $200 billion error!

[OHdem10]

1. WAPO by the second day had found errors and so had NYT.

It did not add up and increased the deficit.

2. K&R

3. Oh, please ... you're expecting the "liberally-biased media" to

actually read the report they've been touting as "courageous" ... let alone report on how f*cked up it really is???

Loading the pig into the catapult now ...

[IggleDoer]

8. It was courageous of Ryan ...

... to put out crap as if it was a serious attempt to solve our problems.

[Poboy]

4. Chris Hayes is excellent.

[Scuba]

5. Yeah, but it's a math error, and math is a science, so it's not valid anyway....

...only a leftist whackjob would argue otherwise.

[Change Happens]

13. ROFL....

A good point!

[gratuitous]

17. Yeah, Ryan doesn't use your socialist mathematics available to everyone

He has his own personal arithmetic that he uses. If you truly want to understand his plan, you have to pay him a royalty for using Paul Ryan Math®.

[Kadie]

22. LOL

:rofl:

6. Far bigger errors than this

Starting with the expectation that unemployment will go down below 3% and that the tax cuts will increase revenue.

[rufus dog]

15. and the assumption that a Realty boom equal to the one of the last

decade will be needed to make the assumptions work.

It is pure friggen fiction.

[mrcheerful]

7. No kidding?

[Rage for Order]

9. You mean besides projecting it out over 10 years?

Anyone who does that is automatically not serious. Budgets are debated and approved on an annual basis (unless they choose to do continuing resolutinos). Anyone who claims their budget will remain unchanged for 10 years is lying.

[anarch]

10. but...but...MORE TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH!!! and NO EPA OVERSITE OF INDUSTRY!!!

it will create jobs, dammit, can't you hippies understand the simplest concepts!

[Fuzz]

11. Much more than 200 billion if you look at it, it's in the trillions.

[Viking12]

12. but, but, but Paul Ryan is so courageous for even bringing this up

[Change Happens]

14. And Cute?

[Viking12]

21. I think the word you're looking for is fit

seems that every report includes the tidbit about his workout routine...no actual analysis of his plan, but plenty of information on exercise habits

:puke:

16. Just read some more at the bottom of the article: he takes credit as in count as credit for savings

as a result of the draw down in Iraq and Afghanistan President Obama already announced!!!

[librechik]

18. It was not intended to be a factual budget n/t

[Historic NY]

19. Republican mathematics usually means your getting screwed

[BobbyBoring]

20. And they accuse Obama of "Wealth Redistribution"?

These assholes never fail when it comes to screwing us!
