I say why is everyone turning against Ryan when he succeeded in passing the most conservative budget in years? That's not a small feat.

If I recall correctly, even Ryan was surprised about that.

The only reason the "Ryan Plan" passed was that it was on the table at the time that Boehner needed a plan (any plan) to use as a bludgeon to hit Harry Reid with in the Senate. Boehner wanted the House to pass SOMETHING just to say that they passed a budget bill.

Ryan's plan was the low-hanging fruit at the time. Right place, right time. That's all.

So people are turning against Ryan because his budget passed?

This makes no sense whatsoever.

And the fact that the House passed this bill was a good thing. Not a bad thing. Even if it were to be changed later in conference (as every bill is) the rudiments were there.
