We will be presented with a truly radical budget proposal this week from Wisconsin’s own conservative poster boy Paul Ryan.  It shifts Medicaid to a black grant given to states and converts Medicare to a plan that no longer guarantees care to seniors, but subsidizes private insurance.  You have to give it to conservatives, their push to dismantle the social safety net is nothing if not relentless.  Oh, and at the same time their budget increases the financial burden on the middle class and poor, it cuts taxes on the wealthiest.
