Economist and Top Wonk Robert Reich posted a “memo to Joe” at Salon today. Here’s a quick run down of his advice.
1. Force Ryan “to take responsibility for the regressive budget he created as chairman of the House Budget Committee.”
2. “[H]old up a copy of the Ryan budget in front of the cameras.”
3. Make clear that Romney and Ryan want to take healthcare “coverage away from 30 million Americans.”
4. “Be cheerfully aggressive.”
5. Finally, “tell America the unvarnished truth: Romney and Ryan plan to do a reverse Robin Hood at a time in our nation’s history when the rich have never had it so good…”
And, most importantly:
Ryan is the robot’s brain. The robot has no heart. It’s your job to enable America to see this.
