“Ezra Klein, who may not be your favorite writer, says: Ryan's tax reform plan costs more than all his spending cuts combined. That's why I say it can't be implemented. And if we were in private and there were no politics involved, I think my friend would admit that. He shakes his head ``no.'' I didn't expect anything different than that.
