Grasping the nettle: Paul Ryan and the budget

In advance of the full unveiling of a budget that seeks to cut about six trillion dollars over the next ten years, Paul Ryan and the House GOP released this primer video.

The video above may be too unspecific to be described as “grasping the nettle,” but the budget plan itself is heavy on detail that will be exploited by Democratic opponents as we get into the 2012 election season. As Vice President Joe Biden would say, this is a big f*****g deal. And conservatives, who have spent the last couple of years fighting against the Obama agenda, now are being offered something to fight for.
