GOP Pass Budget The Republicans know how to get attention from the media, they get so much publicity from right and the left. Representative Paul Ryans budget kills the safety net for the poor and yet people aren't troubled by it. Many poor Americans can't pay attention to the budget process because they work and have mouths to feed. I don't think Ryans budget will pass but the media has to do a better job of highlighting better budgets. Like the one progressive democrats passed, it did not get any attention at all from the media and yet it was better in every way because it had spending cuts, investment, and revenue.
