One from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:
And one from Ezra Klein:
Rep. Paul Ryan‘s budget does, however, manage to slash taxes on people making the most while raising them on everyone else. This I’m told, by a legion of political pundits who make enough money that their kids won’t need Pell grants or food stamps, is very brave. Even the older folks who voted Republican will get to keep their Medicare as Ryan abolishes it for future generations.
Really, all that’s happening here is Ryan is punishing Democratic constituencies and rewarding Republican ones. That’s a lot of things, maybe even smart, but it’s not brave.
