The Real Republican Road to Recovery

The Republican "Road to Recovery" budget alternative, rolled out today by John Boehner, has been criticized by left and right for its lack of specificity and its promise to eliminate the national debt while significantly cutting taxes. FiveThirtyEight.com, however, has received an advance copy of additional details prepared by the Minority Leader's office. Although some elements of the proposal are still under discussion -- Eric Cantor is said to want to eliminate North Dakota rather than Idaho, while Thaddeus McCotter has suggested using the balance of TARP funds to purchase scratch-off tickets -- the final plan can be expected to contain most or all of these components.

I'm amazed this post is remotely "controversial." It's hysterical, plain and simple. Did those criticizing actually see the GOP "budget" with it's bizarre, non-sequestered chart?

This post is brilliant and fits the site perfectly. I can't decide whether eliminating Volcanoes or War on Octomom is my favorite part of the plan.

Let's face reality. There is a very good reason why the Republicans didn't put a single hard number or detail into their "budget alternative" and that is because they know they're full of crap. Yeah, they're going to slash taxes for the rich and balance the budget but not say what they'll cut? This isn't a plan; this is a joke.

The Repubs started their own meme. This is why we need a 2 party system. The Obama admin is full of adults they just aren't as entertaining as the Party of no new ideas.

Wow. That "budget" is as bankrupt of specific ideas and thoughtful analysis as the party that presented it.

I cannot believe people continue to vote for those imposters

I heard that it's 19 pages long,
not a table or a number in it,
and that its leather cover is thicker than the contents inside.

this ridiculous episode is covered by K Olbermann- Countdown with Keith Olbermann

Freaking hilarious!

But no prayer? How can you have a Republican budget with no prayer? Because that is largely all they have: a wingnut and a prayer.

I hope constituents remember this moment the next time they want conservative influence in the white house making sure the best plan moves forward. I think this historic moment should be captured in full sensoround and held up to the GOP as evidence of it's own illness. Apparently they still can't see their own heads stuck up their own behinds.

R's!!!! SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!!!
