About That Super-Awesome Paul Ryan Budget Plan...

Via TPMDC, a new report from the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities shows what would happen to Social Security benefits under the plan put forward by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).  According to the report, "Ryan’s Social Security plan would cut benefits for future retirees significantly in two ways: (1) reducing benefits for the top 70 percent of wage earners through price-indexing the benefit formula, and (2) reducing benefits at all earnings levels by further increasing Social Security’s full retirement age."

Earlier this year, Ed Martin tweeted that Ryan is "THE man with THE plan," and promised supporters that he would fight to enact Ryan's proposals if elected to Congress.  Peter Kinder has also regularly tweeted support for Ryan's ideas.
