I really hate the disingenuous.

Say hello to the new king of double speak. Nothing irks me more than people who say one thing and do another, Paul Ryan is king of this. Playing to the crowd, he mouths platitudes all the while ignoring his own responsibility and role in the state of the nation.

Although Ryan blames the president on the campaign trail for the cuts, the debt limit was increased under an agreement that called on a bipartisan “super-committee” to negotiate an additional $1.2 trillion in savings, or face sequestration - meaning the automatic cuts that include those defense cuts and items unpalatable to each party. After the super-committee failed to strike a deal, the country was left with sequestration. Ryan was a member of that committee.

You’ve probably heard talk about the deficit, how it has grown larger and how the President ignored the recommendations of a bi-partisan committee but the truth...

The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform’s report proposed deep spending cuts in both domestic and military spending, and an overhaul of the tax code that would have lowered rates but raised revenues — all in an attempt to slow the growth of government by $4 trillion over 10 years.

Many Republicans, including Ryan, opposed the military cuts and new tax revenue, while many Democrats opposed changes to Social Security that included raising the full retirement age.

The 18-member commission needed a super majority of 14 votes in order to bring the report to a vote in Congress. But it received the support of just 11 members. Seven members, including Ryan, opposed it, thus blocking congressional action.  In a statement on the final report, Ryan said he “could not support the plan in its entirety,” but said some elements of it were “worthy of further pursuit.”

And this is a man who goes before the nation and chastises the President about ignoring the committee while failing to own up to the fact that he was one of the people who impeded progress... what a loser.
