Rising Hegemon
I mean literally, I'll just quote the whole thing:
I'd just like to quickly sum up what we now know about conservative Rep. Paul Ryan's "Roadmap for America’s Future":
* It raises taxes on 90% of Americans.
* It doesn't explain what spending it would cut.
* It doesn't eliminate the deficit.
And remember, this comes from the guy who's pretty much the best the GOP has to offer. Pretty impressive, no?
Yet, these three plain facts will NEVER be reported by the modern mass media. No, as Atrios says, it will be called "tax cuts" which equals Republican, even though for most everybody, it is the exact fucking opposite...the only people getting tax cuts are the filthy rich.
Look for Broder to praise it soon.
But it's the Democrats that are encouraging class warfare, while the GOP is plainly just facilitating the disarmament talks and manner of the poor and middle classes execution.

Ah, well, only in America....
If the Repugs manage to pull off this one without a mass uprising by middle America, it's time to admit that "Idiocracy" was a documentary....
They may just, although Paul Ryan looks like a poster boy for Larry Craig/C Street/Union Station mens' room "socializing."
And after 30 years of unwavering faith in supply-side Jesus, they actually believe their own bullshit. They think this is an actual fucking road map to prosperity.
like robbing banks. repuublikkklans can't admit the rich HAVE to be taxed for a real economy
Their idiotology has not worked, and yet they keep spouting it and the media keeps giving them the platform.
Pat Kennedy got it right today...on the floor of the house of representatives.
And this was finally posted thanks to Google!
[T]he deficit phobia of Wall Street, the press, some economists and practically all politicians is one of the deepest dangers that we face. It’s not just the old and the sick who are threatened; we all are. To cut current deficits without first rebuilding the economic engine of the private credit system is a sure path to stagnation, to a double-dip recession—even to a second Great Depression. To focus obsessively on cutting future deficits is also a path that will obstruct, not assist, what we need to do to re-establish strong growth and high employment.
