Progressive Caucus On Rep. Paul Ryan's "Roadmap To Ruin"

Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., co-chairman of the House Progressive Caucus, discusses the fiscal year 2012 budget plan unveiled by Rep. Paul Ryan in early April. He and other members of the caucus explain the negative effects that the proposal would have on middle-class and low-income people, and Ellison outlines the larger "generational struggle" between conservative and progressive visions of the country that is epitomized by the Ryan budget.
