All this shows is how well Ryan has honed those skills over the years.

Ryan's budget is roughly 30 pages long. That is no bigger than the Forward in some books. It should not be considered as a serious document. At best, it is a series of talking points intended to fire up the base.

Saletan, as ususal, provides no data to support his opinion so it is good that Krugman exposes him as the phoney that he is. The good news it that nobody reads Slate anymore so what Saletan says has no traction.
