Republicans Backpedal On Budget Plan

As Republicans reap the whirlwind from the Paul Ryan budget, a clever poltical strategy has been devised. They now claim that they had always regarded the unpopular legislation as little more than a "test" to gauge public opinion. The latest polls reveal that only twenty-three percent of Americans are in favor of the radical plan.  Thus, Speaker of  the House John Boehner, in order to avoid a political catastrophe, is saying that the test will be graded "on a curve."
