Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod attacked Paul Ryan on Fox News Sunday for lamenting the failure of the Bowles-Simpson fiscal commisson that Ryan helped scuttle.
He pointed out that Ryan “voted for every single one of the policies in the last decade that are at the root of the explosion of the debt … and [Republicans’] plans today would explode them in the future.”
“They are not credible on the deficit,” he said, referring to the GOP’s categorical refusal to raise taxes. “They have no standing to talk about deficits.”
