Charts for dummies!
Well the lil' ole Republicans were gettin' their feelins hurt by being called out by President Obama (among others) for the stream of televised whinefests over his proposed budget, without offering any concrete plan of their own.
Well, the Villagers were called, that there will be a big! news! day! for the GOP. Of course, the Villagers (villagers=Washington correspondents who have no basis in reality - see Todd, Chuck; Henry, Ed; Gregory, David et al...) came a-runnin' - I think they may be electrically collared - to the big moment where the Republican leadership would point the way to a better America where the debt turns into flowers and unicorns shit rainbows. What they got, is this...
I think my 5-year-old nice make this in art class.
Well, of course it was more than this. About 18 pages more. Of nothing but philosophy and them trying to perpetually re-run the 2008 election, since being a Republican these days is only about the "game" of politics, not the reality. No numbers (well save for a massive tax cut for the rich only), no deficit projection, no empirical comparison to Obama's plan other than the same old whining they've been perfecting since the inauguration.
And as John Cole at Balloon-Juice points out, courtesy of fark, this is really only what they have to offer as a vision.
And apparently not all the Republicans are happy for this little sideshow....When Eric Cantor is on the side of semi-sane pissiness, something's aflutter. Even the media cut through the shit.
So, the architects of this turd, Reps. John Boehner and Mike Pence (R-fucktarddom) you co-win the Republican Douchebag of the Week award (after too long of a lapse)....
And because we've inherited an economic mess and a fiscal mess -- (laughter) -- this budget makes the tough choices necessary to cut the deficit by the end of my first term in half -- even under the most pessimistic estimates. We've already proposed $2 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade. We'll continue making these tough choices in the months and years ahead as our economy recovers.
And to a bunch of the critics out there, I've already said, show me your budget. (Laughter.) Show me what you want to do. (Applause.) And I'm happy to have that debate -- because I believe in the vision of the Democratic Party. (Applause.)
