The author of this article cites the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities as the source of his information. This group is NOT an impartial source of information.
According to York Times reporter Matt Bai, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is one of three left wing think tanks funded by the Democracy Alliance. The other two are the Center for American Progress and the Economic Policy Institute. According to Bai, the representatives of CBPP and the other two Democracy Alliance-sponsored think tanks attended the May 2006 meeting of the Democracy Alliance at the Barton Creek Resort near Austin, Texas. Their role was to “talk about the agendas they were busy crafting that would catapult Democratic politics into the economic future.”
This article is just one of many that you will see in the future attempting to destroy the credibility of Rep. Paul Ryan. Liberals appear to be very concerned about this young man. They should be. His attack on Obamacare was devastating.
LOL-I was thinking the same thing!
I love this guy-he speaks well, writes well and the tv camera seems to like him.

The New Republic
History - Early yearsOne consequence of World War I was the Russian Revolution of 1917, and during the inter-war years the magazine was generally positive in its assessment of the Soviet Union and its communist government.
I 'think' The New Republic and their columnists get their ideas from Communist Party USA and its 'newspaper', the 'Peoples Weekly World'. (just my .02¢)
Ryan-Bachmann 2012!! Yes, I like that!
Idiot author should read the Constitution and Federalist Papers.
"Obsta principiis, nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society."
There is no doubt that the Republicans need someone who can articulate the positions they stand for, and answer tough questions as well as Ryan.
I don’t know much about him, and his past experiences, but I usually like to see someone with executive experience on a state level, so I can review their record.
I do believe that Congressman Ryan has a very bright career in politics, at almost any capacity somewhere down the line.
Thanks for the ping!
Of course. Chait is an old time leftwing buttsniffer, and TNR has been waddling down the redistributionist aisle for ever.
Correctly stated: Ryan's plan would somewhat reduce the distribution of wealth from those who earned it to those who didn't.
Of course this doesn't take into account Ryan's main point, that the economic growth caused by reducing the top tax rate and liberating billions into the private economy benefits the poor and middle class more than redistribution. This point is rarely addressed by "liberals" because it kills their entire argument.
I love him too. He's one of the few Republicans who is willing and able promote Reaganomics.
