More Fun With the Ryan Plan

The analysis keeps coming -- and all of it basically says Ryan's assumptions are at best a joke.

The basic response to the plan from numerous economists is this plan makes no sense whatsoever and is based on a series of economic assumptions that are ridiculous.

I have yet to read any analysis that backs up the basic assumptions and projections. Please post in the comments if there is one out there that I've missed.

* Ridiculous

You're not believing hard enough. Your pessimistic, lazy, can't-do attitude is precisely what's wrong with America. Why do you hate your country? The plan will work because the bootstrappy workers of the Republican party will make it work if you naysayers will just have faith and follow or get out of the way.

It goes without saying that any alternative plan is a path to disaster.

(Is that how it's done? How'd I do?)
