MY VIEW: David Stockman The Bipartisan March to Fiscal Madness
In Sunday's New York Times, CRFB board member David Stockman wrote an op-ed discussing the recent budget proposals from President Obama and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan and how "the resulting squabble is not only deepening the fiscal stalemate, but also bringing us dangerously close to class war." He writes,
"So the Ryan plan worsens our trillion-dollar structural deficit and the Obama plan amounts to small potatoes, at best. Worse, we are about to descend into class war because the Obama plan picks on the rich when it should be pushing tax increases for all, while the Ryan plan attacks the poor when it should be addressing middle-class entitlements and defense."

Supply side high priest sees the light, recants
Not true!
David-
The Ryan plan does not worsen the structural deficit... and it reduces the national debt far more (4 trillion) than Obama's (2.5 trillion) according to a bipartisan report put out by the same group (CRFB) as you claim membership.
Clearly you must still be identifying with your party more so than the efforts of the CRFB... which is counterproductive.
David Stockman for President
Richard Nixon is the only Republican for whom I have ever voted. He ended the draft which was the number one concern of mine when I was 18 years old.
After reading Mr. Stockman's op-ed piece in the New York Times, and listening to multiple interviews of him, my mind is made up.
I will vote for David Stockman for President, contribute money to his campaign, post a yard sign in my front yard, and go door-to-door handing out campaign literature.
The only thing which could change my mind is if Mr. Stockman makes a major political blunder before the election.
