The Washington Post editorial board ran a widely-noted piece yesterday, praising Paul Ryan for his “honest” plan to end Medicare, and criticizing those mean ol’ Democrats for using “false” and “inflammatory” rhetoric — “scare tactics” — when going after the proposal.
This is, of course, pretty standard Republican rhetoric. Ryan, we’re told, deserves credit for telling the truth, while that rascally Dems are trying to frighten people. Reality points in the opposite direction — Ryan’s fraudulent numbers don’t add up and Dems are telling the truth about the GOP plan. If people are scared by that, it’s not the Democrats’ fault the Republican agenda is perceived as menacing.
