that s not what his budget does. it literally cuts from poor people. and doesn t help the decifit. look, what paul ryan is doing is laying out a long term vision for trying to reform government in all of its aspects. it does mean reigning in discretionary spending, making hard choices on entitlements like social security, medicare and medicaid and other things, food stamps programs, in order to reign in spending, because it can t go on this long and when the democrats continue to focus on the class warfare, taxing millionaires and billionaires, that doesn t solve the problem because even if you were to confiscate everything that millionaires and billionaires have in assets that would fund the government for a couple of days. megyn: would you it but it would make them feel better. got to go. thank you both so much. thank you. hig mig in the last 48 hours, two major media outlets have been forced to make major changes to their reports after critics slammed their coverage of the
