Wow. House Republicans unveiled a short term budget bill yesterday. Included in it is a provision banning federal funding to ACORN. Just in case some don't know this, ACORN hasn't existed in almost three years! You can't make this stuff up.

Meanwhile, Paul Ryan has some centrist House Republicans worried. Ryan's previous 2012 budget plan included privatizing Medicare for under 55 year olds which would not have gotten near balancing the budget until 2040. To make that happen in 10 years, by 2014, Ryan and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy broke the news at their Tuesday Group lunch that the coupon Medicare age may have to be adjusted to age 59. Ahh, Republicans have a lovely world in plan for us.
