TPMDC caught up with Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and asked him about the shadow Republican budget drafted by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) that the House GOP leadership is running away from:

“That’s their budget plan. He’s the ranking Republican member on the Budget Committee. That is their so-called roadmap. And it’s a roadmap right into the economic ditch that we got ourselves to begin with.”
