Robert Reich on P. Ryan's complaints about POTUS' economic policies:

[elleng]

Paul Ryan, now Republican chair of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, is complaining that Obama’s economic policies have worsened the gap between the rich and the poor. “The Obamanomics that we’re practicing now have exacerbated inequality,” he told the New York Times. “They’ve exacerbated stagnation. They’re made things worse. The wealthy are doing really well. They’re practicing trickle down economics now.”

P-l-e-a-s-e. Ryan opposed Obama’s stimulus, which included tax cuts for low-wage workers, and the Affordable Care Act, which is paid for partly by higher taxes on the rich. When Obama wanted to extend the Bush tax cuts only for those with incomes under $250,000, Ryan demanded they be extended to all the rich as well. Ryan also supported a “tax reform” plan that would have increased taxes on the middle class to finance tax cuts for the rich, and a budget plan that would have eliminated hundreds of billions in coverage for the poor.

With Mitt Romney off the stage, the Beyond-the-Pale Hypocritical Politician Award goes to Paul Ryan.

2. Lyin' Ryan

is at it again. He obviously thinks everyone is as dirt stupid as the mental defectives that voted for him. I think I'll make him the target of my next cartoon. Watch "GOOD READS."

3. Wall Street had buyers

remorse the day after Mr. Obama was elected. And it has been one cluster F--- after another.

5. Well aware of the Stock Market increases.

What I'am saying is you and I along with the other 99% got the stick to the head with Wall Streets lobbyist killing every attempt to better the average worker. We are among the few who that are not 1%ers whom enjoyed all these market gains. Yes Wall Street is happy screwing the workers and blaming Mr. Obama for all what ales our Country.

6. True.

7. Interesting how the republican's talking point mirrors that of some liberals ...

and Reich's OP is used to slap down the republican talking point; but leaves the (same) liberal talking point untouched.
