Paul Ryan Is a Tax Hawk, Not a Deficit Hawk

[Lakhota]

By Kevin Drum

Are Republicans—and in particular, Paul Ryan—dedicated deficit hawks? Let's make this simple. Here's a timeline:

(Timeline in link below)

Actions speak louder than words, and I think you can draw your own conclusions from Ryan's actions. Aside from a fondness for scary charts, there's really nothing in his career that demonstrates any serious concern with the deficit. What he has demonstrated is consistent opposition to tax increases under any and all circumstances. I think you can also fairly say that he has no problem with spending cuts to social programs.

So that's that. Ryan wants to cut taxes on the rich and cut spending on the poor. That's his real preoccupation, not deficit reduction.
