Paul Ryans Budget is So Delusional that Even Fox News is Calling BSBy: Jason Easley at Politicus USA

"SNIP.....................................................
Rep. Paul Ryans budget is so out of whack with reality that even Fox News has step back and say, Whoa, wait a minute, there buddy. What are you smoking in order to make these numbers work?
Ryan has always been reluctant to discuss the assumptions built into his budget plans. When Chris Wallace pointed out that the repeal of Obamacare is not going to happen, Ryans answer was that it should. Rep. Ryan has finally outed his budget as nothing more than ideological wish list. There is no reality in his budget. The Ryan Budget is the byproduct of a grown man trapped in a teenage boys Randian fantasy.
It turns out that the Republican numbers guy is basing his budget on things that ought to happen instead of what is really happening. Despite all the hoopla Ryan generates for himself in the mainstream media, his budgets have become a yearly self inflicted wound on the Republican Party.
Paul Krugman has been calling Paul Ryan a budget fraud for years. Today, Ryan admitted that his budget is based on politics not reality.

brilliant policy wonk. I don't recall ever hearing a coherent, intelligent position from this elitist dipshit.
