Further proof the M$M is bent...

The Corporate Media in this country have been busy falling all over themselves to heap praise on Eddie Munster Paul Ryan (R- Hates Poor People) and his budget (if by budget you mean republican wish-list to permanently create a poor working under-class) as being "serious" and "courageous". This despite the fact that even the right-wing think tank that came up with the numbers he used have been busy running away from them (and him). It is such a bullshit plan that even some from his own party won't endorse it. His proposals were roundly criticized as being ridiculous, unrealistic and the stuff of  pure fantasy and delusion, and yet the presstitutes in the M$M continue to laud the plan.

It strikes me as strange that the deficit has to be addressed during a Democratic Presidency, but not during a republican one. For a republican it's perfectly fine to start two wars half a world away without a care about how it's going to be paid for, but if a Democrat gets involved in a third one, all of a sudden we have to figure out how to pay for it.

Stranger still is how when a republican suggests screwing the poor and the elderly it's "serious" and "courageous", but if a Democrat suggests  increasing the taxes on the rich it's "socialism"....

The one good thing we can draw from this whole episode is that republicans have officially made their intentions crystal clear; they aim to completely destroy the public safety net that has been built over the years. The question is, who will stand up to defend it?
