Steve Benen is a producer for 'The Rachel Maddow Show,' the editor of MaddowBlog and an MSNBC political contributor. He's also the bestselling author of 'The Impostors: How Republicans Quit Governing and Seized American Politics.'
My fear is that readers are going to see the words “budget plan” and “study committee,” assume this is boring, and quickly click away. But don’t abandon the post just yet, because this is going somewhere. Roughly 50 years ago, when there were still plenty of moderate and even liberal Republicans, a group of conservative lawmakers created something called the Republican Study Committee.
The White House released an accurate summary of the GOP agenda, highlighting not only the damage the Republican budget would do to social insurance programs , but also the Affordable Care Act, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Internal Revenue Service. But the Republican Study Committee’s agenda — which its members have named the “Fiscal Sanity to Save America” plan — doesn’t just focus on fiscal issues.
