U.S. House budget chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., is no fan of the president’s budget proposal, as the Commentary blog documents:
House Budget Committee Chair Paul Ryan slammed the president’s plan as a purely political move that does nothing to address the country’s fiscal problems. “This is not a fiscal plan to save America from a debt crisis,” said Ryan. “It’s a political plan for the president’s re-election.”
According to Ryan, the plan will lead America to the point of painful forced austerity. …
… Ryan promised that House Republicans will address the debt crisis in their budget plan, and said they will present the public with a clear choice between congressional Republicans and the Obama administration.
