Left Laments Ryan's GOP Budget NOT Raising America's Ire

by: warner todd huston | published: 04 24, 2011

The left is desperate to color Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan's GOP budget plan (The Path to Prosperity, as it is styled) as the end of America, crazed to call his plan a killer of old people, and maniacal about saying the the GOP and Ryan want to destroy the country by asking for a few budget cuts. The left even claims that "the country" or "the people" are against the GOP budget proposal. But even lefty blogger Dave Weigel is asking the seminal question: where are the protests?

Now, there does seem to be enough evidence that the people are not very optimistic abut America's economic outlook. And members of Congress are certainly feeling the heat over the budget. I recently spoke to GOP Chief Deputy Whip Rep. Peter Roskam and he confirms that. So, the American people are exercised about the budget. They just aren't mad at about the Ryan plan.

The fact seems to be that the Democrat's are losing the issue and all their demagoguery against Ryan -- led by the chief demagogue in the White House -- are not winning the American people over to their side by trying to make Paul Ryan out to be an ogre.

Amusingly, the left sees "the people" against Ryan's budget because the tiny number of union thugs left in the country hate it. They are blinded by the bubble in which they live.

Back to Weigel's piece, he notes that when last the country was incensed about budgets and congressional overreach there were hundreds of raucous townhalls with many a bedeviled congressman left holding his hat and looking perplexed as his constituents screamed bloody murder at him on his trip back home. That was in 2008 and 2009 when the Obamacare debacle was fresh and the Tea Party was in its infancy.

Ryan's Budget got 238 Bi-partisan yes vote in congress.

Obama's budget got "0" votes in Congress, not even 1 from his own party!

Obama has made history as the first president to NEVER pass a budget during his Presidency. Oh wait, he signed 1 BUSH's!!!
