The Ryan Debt Plan

here are the basics

the plan has drawn praise from The Economist, but scorn from liberal commentators

Krugman thinks the projected unemployment rate is absurd (even more)

Before it was released, Dionne wondered if Obama would stand up for the poor, and now Krugman wonders the same thing

Conservative reaction is more more muted, perhaps because the plan could be risky for Republicans

Obama will address the issue this week, but nobody's quite sure what he'll say
