Republicans in the House Wednesday pressed a budget plan that would cut taxes and radically overhaul Medicare, offering a stark alternative to blueprints offered by President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies.
The plan, drafted by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, the top Republican on the Budget Committee, also freezes overall spending on domestic programs passed by Congress each year
Well, good. But it would have been better if tax cuts and curbs on domestic programs had been the GOP's plan when they held both houses of Congress as well as the Executive. Guys like Ted Stevens are all for freezing domestic spending when they aren't in power. When they're the ones calling shots, not so much.

Everyone knows the GOP spent their way out of office. This, more than anything, is why we now have President Obama.
The GOP has paid a price and this perhaps shows they’ve learned a lesson.
The GOP is like any other business in America. They have to remember who their consumer is. They marketed a bad product, expecting people would buy anyway. They forgot that people don’t have to buy anything, at some point, people will just do without.
The American voter did just that the last couple of election cycles.
