Paul Ryans wants his cake and yours , too.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that Paul Ryan's latest Republican/Teabagger budget proposal is just a pile of bad shit. Some of it comes with a heaping side of chutzpah, as well.
Representative Paul Ryan’s budget proposal counts on more than $400 billion in tax revenue from the 2010 health-care overhaul he and other Republicans want to repeal.

Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, in the plan unveiled today calls for repealing the health-care law while setting a revenue target that assumes the tax increases remain in place. The Wisconsin Republican’s budget plan seeks to collect $37 trillion over the next decade -- the amount the government would raise if the health-care law’s taxes take effect and some expiring tax cuts are extended.

House Republicans’ proposal to reduce the deficit by repealing the health-care law would work only by retaining the law’s higher tax revenue, said Jim Horney, a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The Washington research group advocates policies benefiting low-income families.
Did you catch that? They will take away the healthcare coverage part of ACA but the fiscally responsible Republican/Teabaggers will still tax you for it. They have to fund the tax cuts they will give the wealthy some how.

Comments:
They really are getting sloppy. Especially Paul "Droopy-Droopy Dawg Eyes" Ryan. To be fair, he, and they -- the Repulsives -- have every reason to believe they can just stand in front of cameras and say anything at all they care to that advances their program, without repercussions, without any critical fact-checking, without any solid investigation of that most endangered (and well-known left-leaning!) thing known as Fact, etc. Well, sure, this is an age-old furrow. It doesn't seem to get significantly deeper, though...it should. The Truth *should* set us free. I guess we think it will do so right away. Maybe that's our flawed logic. (Not to rope you into my flawed logic.)
