RE: this is simply not a serious proposal.
I’d like to know which part of his proposal you consider un-serious and how do you propose to fix that part.
Is it because he does not cut enough? Is it because he cuts too far?
Which is it?
It’s not serious because it can’t be serious. There is no chance of its becoming law. Therefore, he can put in there whatever he wants to, since vote counting is of no consequence, and why some budget hawk Republicans (huelskamp) are perfectly happy to say, “no no I won’t support it, it’s not tight enough.”
All this does is create a straw man for Democrats to shoot at. Ryan doesn’t even say what deductions he plans to eliminate to compensate for lower personal and corporate tax rates.
