Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has offered a comprehensive, highly detailed
plan for financial and economic renewal that has inspired small
government activists across the country. It has also earned positive
media coverage from left leaning sources that are normally hostile
toward free market concepts.
But the New York Times is not part of this mix. Columnist Paul
Krugman claims Ryan’s plan is an unrealistic giveaway to the rich. He is
agitated, if not panicked. An audacious proposal aimed at reforming
collapsing entitlements, reducing debt and alleviating burdensome
taxation has been on the receiving end of positive press coverage.
It must therefore be taken down and discredited as an unrealistic
sham replete with tax favors for the rich. Even as The Washington Post
and other left-leaning publications provide readers with a balanced and
comprehensive critique, it is instructive to note that The New York
Times feels a need to perpetuate entitlement illusions.
