This column by ACRU General Counsel and Policy Director for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published April 6 on The American Spectator website.
Before Paul Ryan’s 2012 budget released yesterday, the Liberal Establishment was telling us that what was needed was an adult conversation on the budget and entitlements. Now that they have got their adult conversation, they can’t handle it.
The Washington Post’s E.J. Dionne began the brain-dead name calling, labeling the Ryan budget “radical,” “irresponsible,” and “extreme.” This began the Post’s shameful institutional policy of not reporting to its readers what the Ryan budget actually does, as compared to President Obama’s budget, which I will show by the numbers below is actually what is radical, irresponsible, and extreme. The Post’s institutional policy is to mislead its readers on the issue, in service to Democrat party politics.
