The Ryan Agenda: Bankrupting America

Senator Paul Ryan of Tea Party fame has proposed what some have called the only intelligent attempt to solve the future budget crisis, but what is his real agenda? As a Tea Party devotee, his devotion can only be to destroying the American government. Paul Krugman points out how Ryan is attempting to do this by proposing massive cuts to government spending while slyly providing financially irresponsible tax cuts for the rich. Ryan, along with his daddy in the House, is among the very rich, as are the Koch brothers, the guys who own the Tea Party.
