[edit]

"The Republican Road to Recovery," an alternative budget proposal released by the Republican Party in March 2009, has been widely panned by the media and bloggers as an "Underpants Gnome" budget, in reference to this episode, due to its vague nature and missteps in logic[1][2][3]. For instance, one flowchart starts by "Reforming Medicare and Medicaid" which will then lead to "Universal Access to Affordable Coverage" which in turn "Limits Federal Spending."[4] Another example is the claim that tax cuts will lead to economic recovery, without any explanation of how.[5] Despite being labeled a budget, it contains no hard numbers on revenues and expenditures as pointed out by both conservative[6] and liberal writers[7].

- I usually don't opine on such things but this article is a Paul Cantor promotional piece — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.3.214.112 (talk) 06:24, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quite. The "Themes" section seems to rather blatantly use the show as a proxy for the political views of the authors listed in it. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 09:20, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Undue weight is being given to Cantor's point of view. 70.172.214.70 (talk) 00:12, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
