what part of that fosters the american dream. i think his op-ed could have been a lot shorter if he would have just wrote, are there no work houses, are there no prisons? go after the poor. keep all the cuts to obama care which you say you hate. cheating off the president s work. he wants to make just these draconian, cruel cuts to programs for the poor and he s got an obsession. every time paul ryan puts out proposals they go after the most vulnerable. they go after the elderly poor and the nonelderly poor that seems to be his only big idea. but i don t believe for one instant that it s about deficit reduction. i don t believe for one instant it s about government spending this is a guy who voted for t.a.r.p. and by the way, when he voted to bail out the banks and spend federal money to bail out wall street, he was only one of 20 republicans to do it he bucked the vast majority of his own party to vote for t.a.r.p. he doesn t mind spending federal money as long as it s on the rich.
