The Washington Post columnist writes, “When Ryan released his first budget after becoming committee chairman last year, much of the attention focused on his plans to turn Medicare into a private insurance program. He hasn’t backed away from that, but now he’s making a bolder assault on a full range of social programs.” I don’t see any significant differences in the cuts and reforms to social programs proposed this year and the ones proposed last year; nor does Milbank identify any. Just because he wasn’t paying attention to something last year doesn’t mean anything has changed.
