The NYT does not like the Ryan budget. The GOP House loves it, and it will play well with the Tea Party and with a segment of the plutocrats. It has no chance of passing in the Senate but it enables the GOP sing the song to its base that it has been taught to sing. Ryan remains a hero to his base and he gets a chance to sing his song to a national TV audience. Its good for Ryan but bad for country and it does little to enhance the image of his party which is locked into a vision of the 19th century.
