Paul Ryan’s Roadmap for America’s Future has drawn a lot of admiring commentary from self-described reasonable conservatives — which just goes to show that no matter how many times Lucy pulls away the football, Charlie Brown will keep on trying to kick it.

In fact, the plan is a huge gift to the very, very well off, while actually raising taxes for 60 percent of tax units.

Oh, and the claims that it’s fiscally responsible are phony; basically, Ryan pulled a fast one by having the CBO evaluate his spending proposals but not his revenue-bleeding tax proposals.
