Republicans Getting Slightly More Serious About The Budget

John Boehner released a plan which would end up with a balanced budget in ten years.  This is a bit better than the approximately 20 years it would take for the Ryan plan to have reached a balanced budget.  Given that the entitlement programs’ deaths have moved up several years and politicians have lobbed a new entitlement nightmare into the bonfire, this seems like a case of “too little, too late.”  Except that there’s no way Democrats get to a balanced budget, so it’s not even “too little.”
