Harry Reid Shows That The Majority Of Nevada Voters Are Stupid

Nevada has one of the worst education systems in the country or say the experts. I am starting to believe this since the majority of Nevadan voters returned Harry Reid to the U.S. Senate- there has to be a correlation between a poor education and Harry Reid voters.
Case in point from National Review: The ink was barely dry on House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan’s proposal to set an appropriations ceiling for the remainder of fiscal year 2011 — a move that would save $74 billion compared with the amount initially requested last year by President Obama — before top-ranking Democrats began trashing it.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) instantly dismissed Ryan’s proposal — an effort to scale back non-security spending to 2008 levels — as “unworkable.” A visibly agitated Reid told reporters on Capitol Hill that Ryan’s cuts were “even more draconian than we originally anticipated.” And given what
most Democrats think of Ryan’s “Roadmap for America,” that’s saying something. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/258897/who-you-calling-draconian-andrew-stiles
Then the author beautifully rip's to pieces Harry's comment using charts and words. Harry's "draconian" spending cuts are actually spending raises.
It’s worth looking at these figures in context. President Obama, upon taking office in January 2009, embarked on a federal spending spree of Brobdingnagian proportions. Between 2008 and 2010, non-defense discretionary spending increased by 84 percent (this includes the so-called “stimulus” package). The administration sold its profligacy under the pretense of “job creation.” But the stimulus failed, rather profoundly, on that front, and largely because most of the spending went toward shoring up unions, special-interest groups, and already bloated federal agencies — or was simply wasted on superfluous projects.
Now that House Republicans are seeking a return to pre-stimulus levels — and targeting many of these same propped-up federal agencies in the process — Harry Reid thinks its too extreme for his liking. But compared to the spending increases that took place over the past two years, Ryan’s cuts are strikingly modest — and yet only the beginning of what’s required.


Harry Reid: Extreme For Nevada. Horrible for the U.S.. Hater of the poor, elderly and the disabled.
