lol, you are skeptical when Obama proposes it, but when Rep. Paul Ryan puts lipstick on a pig (to borrow someone elses summary), you all sing his praises.

Obamaspeak: I will reduce the deficit by $4 trillion in 12 years or less

Translation: I will add $10 trillion to our debt in the next 12 years instead of $14 trillion.

Paul Ryan is considered by many to be a policy wonk. His budget plan does not reflect that whatsoever.
