Paul Ryan and His Deficit reduction

An adjunct to my last post - remember in his RNC speech he talked about Obama not going for the Simpson-Bowles commission recommendations to reduce the deficit spending?

Here's some reaction to his utterly misleading garbage:

"[Obama] created a bipartisan debt commission," Ryan continued, "They came back with an urgent report. He thanked them, sent them on their way, and then did exactly nothing. Republicans stepped up with good-faith reforms and solutions equal to the problems. How did the president respond? By doing nothing – nothing except to dodge and demagogue the issue."

Ryan’s comments, though, had a striking omission: He voted against the commission’s proposal.

As chairman of the House Budget Committee, Ryan was on the bipartisan panel and was one of the seven members who voted against the final recommendation.

"‘They?’ ‘Them?’ Why didn't he say, ‘us?’" said Roy T. Meyers, a budget expert who teaches political science at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. "His speech can be judged using Orwellian standards. It's beyond hypocritical. It's repeatedly and cynically dishonest."

Norm Ornstein, a scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, agreed.

"I found it utterly hypocritical, and it was at a minimum disingenuous not to mention his membership on the commission," Ornstein said. "The reality is that the three House Republicans who voted against it, unlike the Senate Republicans, were instrumental in keeping the plan from coming directly to Congress.
