Paul Ryan unveils budget - Provides Alternative to Obama's - No chance it will pass the Senate

Here is a link to Ryan's plan.

And to stories and comments about it.

- The NYT.
- The Hill.
- Washington Post.

Commentators note that Ryan's budget cuts taxes and discretionary programs, while preserving defense spending. Also that it is, at the end of the day, just like the president's budget, a political document. The document also lacks specific details about whose taxes are cut.

Last year, Ryan's budget plan was used by Democrats against the party, Politico suggests that they may be able to repeat the feat.
