Rep. Paul Ryan railed against the deficit without proposing even one specific cut. He didn't talk about his own infamous "Roadmap," maybe because most analysts have called it a budget buster, even though it essentially replaces Social Security and Medicare with vouchers. The Congressional Budget Office estimates Ryan's plan wouldn't balance the budget until 2063, and would add $62 trillion to the debt by then. Citizens for Tax Justice said Ryan's Roadmap raises taxes on 9 out of 10 taxpayers and while slashing them for the wealthiest.

As an African-American, I have visited South Waterfront on many occasions via streetcar. And diversity is scarce to say the least, I would consider living there. Hopefully with affordable housing this will change, and I hope it won't scare the woman if she see's me in the lobby or in the park.

Also have your producer, eliminat the "ums" from her dialogue it can be very irritating. Love your programs, very insightful.
