As if Paul Ryan didn't have enough problems trying to kill Medicare, now he has a new ally, former Vice President Dick Cheney.
“I worship the ground Paul Ryan walks on,” Cheney told an interviewer last week.
And here's what Cheney, himself, said about the national debt back in 2002, when former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill warned that the Bush tax cuts would put that year's budget $500 million in the hole (two years after President Clinton left the nation with a budget surplus):
“You know, Paul, Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. We won the midterms. This is our due.”
With friends like that, Ryan doesn't need Democrats for enemies. Actually, with friends like himself, Ryan doesn't need Democrats for enemies. Ryan voted for the Bush budgets that added trillions to the national debt through tax cuts, unfunded wars, and the Medicare prescription drug program that was not only unfunded but insisted the government pay full retail price for drugs.
