Speaking at the American Society of News Editors conference in Washington on Tuesday, President Obama delivered a speech that was both short on facts and almost identical to speech Obama used to attack House Budget Chairman Ryan’s budget last year.

There were a few new lines, though. He called the recently passed House budget “thinly veiled social Darwinism” that is “antithetical to our entire history.” He added, “I am not exaggerating. These are facts.” But what are the real facts? And whose plan for America’s fiscal future matches our history and values?
