From Up With Chris Hayes, here’s the lowdown on where Paul Ryan stands with deficit spending. Of course, the fact that Ryan wants to cut assistance to the poor is somehow a sign that he’s fiscally responsible, because baby angels smile when only the wealthy have health care.

It’s unfair to say, as some might, that Mitt Romney believes in nothing except his own ambition. He believes, with shining certainty, in his own success, and, more broadly, in the American Gospel of Wealth that lies behind it: the idea that rich people got rich by being good, that the riches are a sign of their virtue, and that they should therefore be allowed to rule.
