Ezra Klein writes in the Post about the House Progressive Caucus's budget plan. He asked several budget analysts to comment on the plan. There were many favorable comments and some suggestions for a better way to do things. Most believe that it is far superior to the Ryan plan which some say does not really reduce the deficits. Most of the discussion is about tax policy changes which are anathema to Ryan and not given much thought in the Obama plan which is not that far from the Ryan plan from an ideological perspective.
The good news is that we need a wider spectrum of choices to choose from than we are offered by Ryan or by Obama. Hopefully, this will shift the debate from the current framing which is between the far right and the center right.
