Oh be serious! Ryan approved it, so we're against it

The intransigent idiot inane Republicans in Congress recycled their same position from last year as the supposed "starting point" in the fiscal cliff negotiations.   It's already been rejected by the White House, which was a certainty.  But when you see the signees, it's pretty obvious that we the conglomerate American people voted this down by voting the Prez back in. 

Boehner, House GOP leaders offer 'fiscal cliff' counterproposal

Here's what kills it:

"For the first time, Boehner managed to get his entire leadership team — including conservative champions such as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.) and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (Wis.), the 2012 vice-presidential candidate — to publicly sign on to a plan that explicitly calls for new tax revenue. Republicans say they are willing to extract all the new tax money from households earning more than $250,000 a year, the same group Obama wants to target with higher tax rates. But the GOP plan would raise the money by wiping out deductions instead of raising rates."

As previously discussed, that math won't hunt.  And if Ryan's for it, then it is obviously not the plan that the American people (at least a majority of them) voted for in expectation of reasonability and compromise by the leaders of their country.

So get with the program, Boehner, and try to come up with a real plan, or you're going to be raising everybody's taxes.   Politically, that don't look good at all.
