Trog Summarizes Ryan, And Had Me Until The Last Sentence

by Smitty TrogloPundit does a fine job of summarizing thoughts of Ace and Hot Air on the Ryan budget.

Why Not Perpetuate A Fraud On The American Public?

by Smitty Ace’s post “Boehner: I Will Not Perpetrate A Fraud On The American Public” prompts a reply in the form of a paraphrase of the good Representative Jessup (D-mented): Son, we live in a country that has social safety nets, and those nets have to be guarded by politicians with legislation.
