Yeah, I don't get that either. I hadn't heard of a "more conservative budget" proposal before. Off the cuff, though, would passing something "more conservative" have been a bad thing?

By the way, you’ll know they’re serious about the budget when the first criteria on every item is constitutionality...in other words, does it fall within Congress’ Enumerated Powers?
Until then, it’s mostly smoke and mirrors.

Thanks to this maneuver by the Democrats, the lie has been laid bare and the "Ryan budget" has become the Republican extreme.
This means they shall settle for some substantially weaker, meaning there's no hope of balanced budget again in their lifetimes.
It also means taxes will rise.
