Republican Response

Paul Ryan drives me crazy.  Why?  Because he has managed to get himself considered the "responsible" Republican on spending.  Meanwhile he voted for tax cuts that weren't paid for, Medicare drug benefits that weren't paid for, and it goes on and on.  He says he wants spending cuts first- sounds great! But of course there are no details there at all, and I predict he won't actually propose realistic spending cuts that can pass- he knows spending cuts are much less popular than tax increases on the Rich when you actually start cutting stuff- everyone likes cuts in the abstract, until it affects them.
