elections do have cobs sequences. while repealing obama care fires up conservatives, so does a balanced budget. paul ryan says he thinks he can do it by 2023. shep? shepard: i mentioned two plans. the other one comes from the democrats who are blasting congressman ryan s plan while showing their own, right? that s right. three years in a row, they do not like the paul ryan budget plan, senator patty murray is due to unveil her blueprint tomorrow. she would cut spending by $975 billion. she would increase tax revenue by $975 billion. it does not balance ever. meanwhile the top senate democrat is blasting the house g.o.p. plan. house republicans are advancing the ryan republican budget. that s even more extreme that be the propaganda we have seen in the past. ryan republican budget slashes programs that are critical to the middle class. so the battle lines are drawn. you will be hearing plenty about these contrasting visions in the coming weeks, shep?
