Paul Ryan's Budget As An Early Christmas Gift To Obama

President Obama should thank Paul Ryan for the budget that he pushed through the House. Ryan's budget has provided a clear target for him to attack. He will call Ryan's budget "Social Darwinism" because it cuts programs for our neediest citizens. He will also present it as a form of class warfare against middle class Americans. He will place the blame for our budget deficits on the Bush tax cuts, which go primarily to the wealthy, and for the costly wars that he started in the Mid-East. We will have to see how this plays out in the media. The response of the media will determine whether Ryan or Obama are serious about budget deficits and which of them is engaged in class warfare.
