Quote of the Day

"...Ryan warned that a generous safety net 'lulls able-bodied people into lives of complacency and dependency, which drains them of their very will and incentive to make the most of their lives. It’s demeaning.' How very kind: To protect poor Americans from being demeaned, Ryan is cutting their anti-poverty programs and using the proceeds to give the wealthiest Americans a six-figure tax cut." -- Dana Milbank, commenting on the Rethugs' budget plan for 2013 proposed by Rep. Paul "Lyin'" Ryan. Read his whole breakdown of the proposal to understand how deeply misguided, devious and selfish the proposal is, and how it places all of the sacrifice on those who can least afford it. Hopefully, once the Rethug presidential candidates embrace it, this will be a heavy anchor that sinks them in November.
