Ryan (R) budget redux gives some Repubs headaches

[Dot Com]

We all agree that the budget & deficits need to be addressed but by what means is the issue.

This is what happened w/ his last budget:

Paul Ryan’s budget is bad politics. Just ask Republicans. - The Washington Post

For their part, Republican presidential candidates did everything they could to pretend that the Ryan budget didn’t exist — expressing general praise for the idea of a conservative alternative to the Obama budget but avoiding any support for specific proposals. (The one exception was former Utah governor Jon Huntsman, who offered his unequivocal support for the Ryan plan. And we saw how far that carried him.)

The debate over the politics of Ryan’s latest budget plan speak to a broader divide within the Republican Party.

This issue is more when will republicans address the issue in good faith by proposing responsible, realistic budget plans that democrats can work with.

He's relentless. That budget isn't going anywhere until those idiots sit down and talk about it.

Kind of makes you wonder why they will not even discuss the idea of not bankrupting the Republic, though, doesn't it?
