Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) Road Map Voodoo
In a report released yesterday, Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ) critically examine the tax policies proposed recently in Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) budget alternative, conventionally titled, "A Roadmap for America's Future." Claims of the proposal "balancing the budget" and "reforming entitlements" have already been thoroughly debunked, but CTJ has contributed a valuable analysis of the young Republican's tax policies, which will actually cost the government "$2 trillion over a decade even while requiring 90 percent of taxpayers to pay more" than they already do in taxes.
Ryan is just another Voodoo economics conservatives. he is shifting the deck chairs around, but it is the same extreme right-wing economics that caused the Great Recession. Like Bush he is really worried that the wealthiest people in America not have to pay a couple more percent in taxes. Like most conservatives he believes in rewarding wealth for it's own sake. Rewarding workers is against the wacky and dangerous Republican belief system..
Fox's Voodoo Dick Morris' Plan for Economic Recovery: Bankrupt States; Break Unions
The opening salvo: Frame aid to states as a "bailout".
As long as the Democrats control Congress, they will continue to rubber-stamp Obama’s requests for bailouts of profligate states. But when the Republicans take control, they will be less than forthcoming. Republicans will ask the central question: Why should taxpayers from states that have cut their budgets and observed spending restraint, pay for the extravagances of the other states? Why should forty-seven states have to pay for California, New York, and Michigan?
Hmmmm. Will those 47 states refuse to accept the federal dollars which kept their states' budgets balanced last year? Why did Rick Perry accept the federal aid for Texas? So he could campaign on a balanced budget, of course.
But really, this is just the foundation. Morris' plan is much more evil than simply electing enough representatives to Congress to block federal aid to states.
Dick used to pay prostitutes to suck their toes so this is not a man who exactly knows the value of a dollar.
