New Nationwide Poll Shows Voters Want Candidates to Focus on Manufacturing, Infrastructure
(like the President is doing)
Poll: Tax the rich, corporations
(Which the Republicans oppose)
The 2013 budget that Ryan unveiled Tuesday picks up some important features, including the Medicare option, from the Ryan-Wyden plan. It would create a competitive-bidding process to determine the annual increase in the government voucher, forcing health plans and the Medicare program to compete for patients. The federal subsidy would be based on the second- least-expensive plan in each market. Ryan would means-test Medicare by subsidizing the poor more and the wealthy less. And beginning in 2023, he would increase gradually the Medicare eligibility age until it reaches 67 in 2034.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that, by 2030, spending on the average Medicare beneficiary would be $7,400 (in 2011 dollars) under Ryans plan, 14 percent lower than what would be spent under current law.
Democrats are already hammering Ryan for ending Medicare as we know it. But the CBO estimates that the present system will run out of money in the next nine years. Ryans plan may be poor politics, but its the right policy.
Ah, but the VOTERS like Obama's budget better than the budget from the zombie eyed granny starver, Paul Ryan. The voter like what President Obama wants to do, rebuilding infrastructure, increasing taxes on the wealthy, closing corporate loopholes, etc. They don't like what the budget Munster proposes...killing Medicare.
The voters loved it so much they couldn't convince a single Democratic Rep to vote for it.
Tell us some more stories.
They want Ryan's "budget" that adds TRILLIONS to the debt, puts millions of Americans into poverty, gives anyone who makes more than $1MILLION DOLLARS an extra $150THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR and even manages to kill some babies.
Vote Republican - keep China green and put lots of money into foreign banks and foreign business. Just like your hero, Mittens.
Ryan does not have a plan.
Just some talk with virtually no details.
The media is calling it a blueprint but with so few details you could not even build a dog house from that blueprint.
The hypocritical pubs removed everything except the dollar amount.
This was a "commercial" vote. The hypocritical pubs removed everything except the dollar amount. With no info as to how the money would be spent, there was only one way to vote.
You rw's are being led around by your noses. Why don't you try thinking for yourselves?
at least now maybe they'll shut up and stop saying they want the dems to put forth a budget...
dumbass teatards.
Anyone aware of the fact that the president's yearly budget recommendation is not an actual budget? It's far too general to be a workable budget. Also there's that thing with the debt ceiling deal that republicans would like you forget as they attempt to wiggle out of the deal they made for the sake of their pentagon buddies. Keep that fact central anytime they mention the word budget, they punted the whole thing to 2013 making the budget process superfluous this year and perhaps permanently.

Not to mention the fact that creating a budget is the one and only job that's constitutionally assigned to Congress.
It's their job to fill in the details, using or not using the recommendations of The President.
Now, when was the last time congress actually did the job we pay them for? That's the question going unanswered.

While I am not that big of a fan of the New York Times, I sometimes a check it out. Let's see what they had to say:
2016 Deficit:
Ryan plan - $241 billion
Obama plan - $529 billion
Debt over the next 10 years:
Ryan plan - $3.1 trillion
Obama plan - $6.4 trillion
So, while Ryan's plan does add to the debt as you mentioned, you just conveniently forgot to mention that Obama's plan adds over twice as much to it as Ryan's
Year it balances the budget:
Ryan plan - year 2040
Obama plan - NEVER
This was the NY Times, not me that came up with these stats. Hmm, any wonder why even Democrats in the House joined Republican in voting down Obama's plan.
