Conservatives Should be Unpleasantly Surprised by the Ryan Budget

Writing for the New York Sun, Ira Stoll outlines several reasons why conservatives should be "unpleasantly surprised" by the Ryan Budget.

Conservatives who oppose raising the debt limit…yet again…should take particular note in this excerpt:

[I]t doesn’t reduce the national debt. Mr. Ryan’s figures show the national debt held by the public growing to $15 trillion in 2022, up from about $11 trillion this year.

It’s one thing if raising the debt limit was conditioned on passing a balanced budget, but the Ryan plan doesn’t even do that.

Stoll’s piece is worth reading, but even he doesn’t mention the fact that the Ryan budget breaks the debt deal from last year.  As we said before, this is no longer a fiscal issue, it’s a credibility issue.  Republicans of all stripes are glossing over that fact.

And that’s a shame.
