Paul Ryan’s 2013 budget is disguised as a deficit reduction plan, it’s really an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country. It’s nothing but thinly-veiled Social Darwinism. It’s antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity and upward mobility for everyone who’s willing to work for it — a place where prosperity doesn’t trickle down from the top, but grows outward from the heart of the middle class. - President Obama

If Mitt Romney is the nominee, then the Romney-Ryan budget plan is something the American people have to understand. If Mitt Romney is elected president he’ll rubber-stamp that budget. It showers huge additional tax cuts on the wealthy that are paid for by veterans and seniors and the middle class so it’s not a balanced approach. -  David Plouffe, senior White House adviser
