Can-O-Whoopass

The White House is apparently tired of the Ryan Plan and is not taking the Serious Centrist bait.  At all.  WH spokeman Jay Carney on Wednesday:

Among the many serious problems with the Ryan budget, Republican budget proposal, is its dramatic cuts in some of the absolutely essential programs that we need to sustain and the investments that we need to make to secure America's economic future.  Education, Pell grants is one; investments in clean energy is another.

I mean, again, it is -- you have to be aggressively and deliberately ignorant of the world economy not to know and understand that clean energy technologies are going to play a huge role in the 21st century.  You have to have severely diminished capacity to understand what drives economic growth in industrialized countries in this century if you do not understand that education is the key that unlocks the door to prosperity.  The budget proposed by Chairman Ryan and supported overwhelmingly already by Republicans suggests that those problems exist in the minds of the supporters of that plan.

Yeah.  You can take your Ryan Plan, and you can suck it.  This is the proper response to a budget that is a work of Randian fantasy fan fiction and should be dismissed out of hand as a cruel joke perpetrated on the American public.

Glad to see the White House make a smoking crater of this.  More, please.
