Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., said today that President Obama can’t even do simple math. At a bloggers briefing Wednesday hosted by The Heritage Foundation, the House budget chairman quoted Obama as saying, “If we’re not willing to ask those who’ve done extraordinarily well to help America close the deficit… the math says… we’ve got to put the entire burden on the middle class and the poor.”

The “actual math,” said Ryan, shows that taxing the rich will not fix the deficit or the economy.
