Democrats and non-partisan policy experts alike expressed outraged at new rules proposed by House Republicans that would allow the incoming House Budget Committee chairman to unilaterally set spending ceilings.
Under one of the proposed rules Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), who is expected to be the next House Budget Committee chairman, will be allowed to submit spending and revenue limits that “shall be considered as the completion of congressional action on a concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2011.”
Ryan is best known for his his radical plan to balance the budget by privatizing Social Security and Medicare.
Robert Greenstein and James R. Horney of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities described the new powers as “stunning and unprecedented.”
