Obama's Budget Has U.S. on Wrong Track

Looks like a lot of the Lefties here can neither read, nor apply any comprehension skills to what little they DO read.

For instance, the oft-repeated matra that the Ryan plan would "kill" Medicare, when not just a link (that they would never, ever go to) but the actual text from Factcheck disproving that lie has been posted.

The earlier repub vote to "kill" Medicare, an accusation thrown about as if what was voted on to abolish the program altogether, when in fact it was a vote to do the same thing that was later put into the Healthcare bill by the Dems for State insurance exchanges.

The polls that supposedly "prove" widespread disapproval with the Ryan plan - does the majority of the general public actually UNDERSTAND the plan, or are they basing their judgment on the headlines generated by the main stream media (which seems to be the scenario for way too many here)?

Until such time that people actually seek out and educate themselves on the facts, we can expect to continue to see the sort of misguided vitriol that constantly gets posted here.

mr. bill,you might want to check out kevin williamson,s column of 4/25/2011 in the national review (he,s deputy managing editor of national review).

it is stated in his column that tax cut do not generally increase revenue.it would seem that not everyone on the right subscribe,s to your wrong headed thinking.

he even go,s so far as to suggest that republican,s should not run on the issue.it does show that even on the far right there are a few,not many,level headed people.it,s a safe bet that your not in that category.
