Democrats Bash Ryan Budget As ‘Radical’ Retread

Congressional Democrats came out swinging Tuesday after GOP leaders introduced a 2014 budget blueprint that would cut $5.7 trillion in spending over the next decade.

The lawmakers say the Republicans' budget plan, unveiled by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), protects the wealthy at the expense of more vulnerable people, such as seniors and the poor.

Echoing the criticisms leveled at previous budgets from Ryan, the Democrats placed particular emphasis on provisions that would cut Medicare for future beneficiaries.

Yes it's radical to think Democrats would allow a BALANCED BUDGET in ten years.

I've always understood that one of the foundation principles of the Democratic party was fear of our democracy being destroyed/undermined from within. Yet it seems they are hell bent on doing just that!
How can you trust any political group who fights against their own beliefs? The answer is.., you can't.

6:17 You are correct. You always fear what you do not understand. The dumbocraps have no clue and no ambition to create a balanced budget.
