Representative Paul Ryan revealed his proposal for the federal budget,
which has much in common with his proposal from last year. The plan
proposes to reach a balanced budget by 2030, largely by lowering the rate of
growth of Medicare (by converting it to a premium support system) and
drastically reducing non-military discretionary spending. Republicans have not embraced the plan
enthusiastically, for a variety of reasons.
Some Republican representatives contend that it doesn’t go far enough, fast
enough. Here, here and here are some of
the many additional comments about the plan.
The brand new Ryan plan
Is not much better than
The old one he put out
Last year. But some devout
Republicans purport
That they cannot support
The plan.
And why is that?
Although the tax is flat-
Ter than it was before
And nicely stiffs the poor
And whittles down the size
Of government, these guys
Contend the plan’s not tough -
It doesn’t cut things fast enough.
