Ryan Budget Mocked As 'Hocus Pocus'
WASHINGTON -- Senate Democrats are mocking House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryans (R-Wis.) budget plan as hocus pocus charging it will actually either explode the deficit or heavily tax the middle class. The policy paper -- released Thursday and decorated with Ryan in a magicians suit -- relies heavily on the analysis done by the Tax Policy Center on the proposals of Mitt Romney and Ryan in the presidential race.
