Which brings up an interseting question is... why haven't you turned that round? Afterall, Obama is accusing Paul Ryan of cutting Medicare, when he himself already did cut it.
There was Simpson-Bowles, but Obama disregarded it... and his counter plan was so inept, not even Erksine could get behind it. And i mean, to show that he hasn't suddenly just jumped the Democratic band wagon... So it's not like he still isn't steadly democratic. He just recognizes that Paul Ryan so far is the only one to have come out with a solution outside of the Simpson Bowles commission, and is the only one taking the deficit serious... and because HE is taking it serious, for once he's not in "Rally behind the camp" mode. It's often why I tend to defend republican candidates here, even though I've never actually voted for a Republican, and Mitt Romney is about last on my list of candidates I plan to vote for. Republicans are adressing serious issues, that democrats want to ignore or even worse, make light of. |
This isn't really true.

There's a fairly fleshed out alternative budget. I'm not a fan, but it's there. Obama ignores its existence.
