Dold's Radical Budget Plan

Republican 10th Congressional District candidate Robert Dold took to Facebook recently and encouraged his campaign followers to bone up on Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) Roadmap for America’s Future. That's the GOP budget plan that would raise taxes on 90 percent of Americans while generating $2 trillion annually less in revenue. Guess who grabs the windfall? The rich! Ryan also would cut domestic programs and Social Security benefits dramatically while (irrationally) privatizing (and "rationing" care) for Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP patients. Even after all of that, the plan wouldn't even erase the entire long-term budget deficit. In other words, it's not really a political winner.

That might explain why Dold's campaign removed the post a few hours later. Dan Seals' campaign has more on the topic here.
