UPDATE: For even more on Paul Ryan's growing lunacy, see this site.
Apparently Paul Ryan can't (or won't) remember his own plan for spending.
...In October, in his effort to “clear the barn” for Ryan, then-Speaker
John Boehner helped negotiate a two-year budget deal with President
Barack Obama and Democrats. It raised the 2017 spending level roughly
$30 billion above the total lawmakers set in 2011 to control spending.
In other words, Boehner--who is not only a 'fiscal' inebriate--went the Obozo route.
Though the majority of Republicans
did not vote for the Boehner-Obama budget deal, the new House leadership
has indicated spending bills for fiscal year 2017 must abide by the
higher spending level prescribed by the October agreement.
But a new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office
projecting trillion-dollar deficit levels by 2022 appears to be
persuading more than just the usual suspects to ignore the budget deal
and insist on a lower spending level..
A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon it's real money.
Paul, what happened to you? Or do you like your "F" rating from Conservative Review?
