Paul Ryan's Infamous Budget Plan Included Debt Ceiling Boosts

Ryan is the master of contradiction (belated hat tip, Greg Sargent):

This has gotten little attention, but Senate Dems points out that on pages five and six of Ryan’s proposal, the plan lays out its version of what constitutes “appropriate levels of the public debt” over the next ten years. It says that in fiscal year 2012, the appropriate debt limit would be $16.2 trillion — nearly two trillion higher than it is now. In 2021, according to Ryan’s proposal, the proper debt limit would be $23.1 trillion — nearly $9 trillion higher than the present.

Paul Ryan is a flim-flam man of massive proportion.  Paul Ryan is on the Congressional Budget Committee, yet when he and Mitt Romney ran for the White House last fall, Romney/Ryan were the biggest tax-dodging presidential ticket in U.S. history and they ran on a budget with no numbers nor details

Paul Ryan should not be given any credibility, (more HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE)
