Paul Ryan ran on one thing above all else — cutting the deficit — and now he leaves his speakership with a record of passing *one* major law:

Tax cuts that blatantly and hypocritically grow the deficit.

The data reveals Ryan’s speakership sold out the core promise of his 20-year career — it grew the deficit — and paved the way for record-breaking losses for House Republicans in the midterms.
Many accepted the claim that Ryan was a “wonk-hawk” who would govern to cut the deficit — and that the Tea Party was animated by “Obama era deficits/ spending.”

These House GOP deficits *shred* all that.

Where’s the Tea Party for the Tea Party deficit?
