Business WeelU.S. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan accused President
Barack Obama of attempting to exploit resentment of the wealthy in

Ryan said that Obama, in his weeks-long campaign for his jobs plan, is
“sowing social unrest and class resentment” and “pitting one group

Carney also said a Ryan plan the House passed in April that would
convert Medicare to a system of subsidized private health coverage and
cut spending by more than $6 trillion over a decade “seems pretty
