House Budget Committee chair Rep. Paul Ryan R-Wisc. unveils a proposed fiscal 2015 election year budget on Tuesday that calls for repealing Obamacare — so is not going to get a friendly reception from House Democrats and faces no prospects of passage in the Democratic controlled Senate.

Ryan, who was Mitt Romney’s vice presidential runningmate in 2012, calls for $5.1 trillion in cuts over the next ten years, trims in some tax rates for the wealthy, and a reduction of federal spending on Medicare, though no changes for those retired or soon-to-be.
