The house will pass it. But denied in the senate and by president.
I like it, i wish it would go through, especially after hearing all the criticism on the presidents budget speech... i would much rather have ryans
Just to correct a minor error, but Paul Ryan cited the Debt Commission's proposal to simplify and lower all tax rates if deductions were closed. The mention of the top tax rate was no rate would go beyond that.What do you like about it? Have you read the CBO report on it?
I think odds are slightly against it passing in the house in it's current form. Once democrats start pointing out the way the tax cuts are formulated(capping the top rate, but not lowering the lower rates) and the major problems with Medicare(notice that it has to be delayed till 2022 so republicans don't lose the senior vote over it), I think republicans will formulate a different plan. However, it would not surprise me if it did pass. Of course, as pointed out, it will never get past the senate and the president would never sign it, so the point is moot. Conversely, the new plan the president is reportedly working on will never get past the house in the form it is reported on being in.

Will the House ever pass the Ryan budget?

The Medicare stuff will be the real killer. Granted Ryan carved it out in such a manner that protects the Republican's most reliable voting bloc, but I think once Democrats begin attacking how future costs will cripple anyone under 55 that is not rich it will be hard for Republicans to justify the health care approach that they have taken.
The republicans are taking a big risk here, they are going for broke it seems. They are banking on the american people being so dejected over the long recession and the debt and unemployment that they can get through what they never couldnt before...huge cut in the tax rate for the rich and corporations and making the middle and lower class pay more...I believe that the support they had in the very beginning is giving them the impetus to go for broke.What they are forgetting is that people like ME who supported them energetically in the beginning and went to teaparty rallies and donated to them were in because we were stone cold against Obamacare and Bailouts to the GM and Goldman Sachs and AIG. We were not in it to assure the richest americans pay the least as possible and middle class pay the most possible. We didnt support them to attack the working class in every state a teaparty governor won.
The republicans better take heed that most of the republican party voters are working class middleclass, the richest americans on their own couldnt elect Paul Ryan to cafeteria cashier in a elementary school
The jury is still out on the teaparty and I will stick my neck out and say the more the average joe republican learns about what they are about the support will start to drop.
Dayum! Harsh, but not without merit.
Go to page 50 of Ryan's budget plan. He cites using the recommendations of the President's Debt Comission to lower the overall rates for every taxpayer, although he made no mention of it as part of his proposal. From that I made the assumption that is what he would use as a template, though I very well be wrong.I cannot find that in the proposal. What I find is the top rate is capped at 25 %.
The CBO report was brutal to his Medicare proposal, and rightly. Even with seniors getting money to buy their insurance with, their costs will skyrocket, as will the costs of every one else.

There's no way. The last thing they want is to have it pass and then have it signed. Could you imagine the GOP handing Obama a gift like that in an election year? Me neither.
