Suggested Reading

Here are some worthy articles you might have missed in the past few days that are worth taking a look at:

-- Michael Grunwald on 5 myths about the stimulus. Think about these every time you see a Romney/ Rove ad about the "failed stimulus" and its "wasteful spending."

-- Ezra Klein on the Romney/ Ryan Medicare budget fraud. Recall Klein's explanation of how, when you hear Romney/ Rove attack Obama's proposals cutting Medicare funding by $700 billion, the Rethugs plan to cut the same amount, but in a way that would shatter the system.

-- Matt Miller on Ryan's radical budget plan and the disconnect in the fawning media narrative.

-- Lest you think it's only progressives carving up the Rethuglican/ Ryan budget, check out what St. Ronnie of Hollywood's OMB Director, David Stockman, thinks about Brown Noser's handiwork. It's not pretty.
