Pretty stupid question from the WaPo.
For the record, I don't like Paul Ryan's budget, because I think we need to cut about twice as much as he wants to cut. At least.

Republican Candidates could improve their Primary vote count by campaigning with the following idea:
Due to the FHA, Fannie and Freddie Bankruptcies of September, 2008, American home owners lost 30 % of the value of their homes. That is a 30 % cut in just one month. Home values are still down 30 %.
Thus, let us cut the total compensation to all elected Federal politicians, and their staffs by 30 %, and an additional 10 % cut to elected Federal politicians each year until Federal Spending is LESS THAN the average of the previous 2 years of Federal income.
BTW, since slightly less than half of the US House, and 2/3 of the US Senate are Millionaires, it will be a great opportunity for Congress to lead by example that EVERYONE should give up their fair share of the American Dream.
What better way can there be to demonstrate that Federal politicians are on the same page as the voters?

If there were any lingering doubts that Hussein is a Marxist, that statement dispels them.
Only Marxists claim that limited government equates to “Darwinism”.

Basically, he’s saying that not having the
“Really Smart People” FORCING “fair” outcomes,
all we’ve got left is survival of the fittest and meanest.
Only arrogance accompanied by lifelong indoctrination would come to this conclusion.

The funny thing is I don't regard "Social Darwinism" as an insult or a pejorative. We could do with a lot more Social Darwinism; it is absurd to label the Ryan budget thus.
I was in a discussion on another board (affiliated with my liberal-leaning alma mater, UNC), and one poster, demonstrating that some conservatism exists among UNC alums, phrased the "Social Darwinism" statement by Obama thus:
Did Obama seriously put Social Darwinism and the American Dream at odds? They're the same damn thing.
The American Dream is not that incompetent, lazy people can make it big.
Very well put, I thought.

Amazing! The kenyan usurper slaps together a “budget” that gets pummeled 414 to 0, - couldn't even get a dim vote, yet he has the audacity to criticize Ryan for trying to get the Country back on track?!?

Next question for all those who answered the poll: have you actually read any part of Ryan’s proposal?
No: 99.99%
Yes: 0.01%
I hate polls which equate abject ignorance to fully informed.

Paul Ryan's budget is a "radical vision" of "social Darwinism"? Despite their differences, one common thread runs through all forms of social darwinism - the notion that all important human characteristics are determined genetically.Nowadays, determinism (along with collectivism) are beliefs that libtards are more likely to have than Republicans

I can't find the poll. Either they've had it removed (didn't like the results?) or I'm missing it when I'm searching the page.
I shouldn't be, but I'm always stunned at the water-carrying the WAPO does for the democrat party and left in general.
