Jonathan Chait on the damage that would be done by the Paul Ryan budget. And I'm surprised we don't hear more quoting of the line from economist Robert Greenstein; that Ryan's plan will "produce the largest redistribution of income from the bottom to the top in modern U.S. history." Is it that the non-rich folks who back Romney-Ryan…
- …are completely unaware of the assertion that Ryan's budget would do this?
- …are aware but don't believe that assertion is accurate?
- …believe it would do that and believe this kind of "redistribution" is a good thing? Or…
- …just want to get rid of Obama so badly they'll allow this kind of thing to happen?
I suspect it's a combination of the first two with maybe a smidgen of the last one.
