            Independent presidential candidate Anisa Abd el Fattah has come out against the Ryan budget plan. Citing the plan’s wrong approach to reducing government debt, Abd el Fattah opined, saying “stiff austerity measures are the wrong approach to solving US economic woes.” 

“It is simple common sense that any American can understand” she said. “You cannot cut public services and destroy the economic safety nets that protect Americans from abject poverty, while also refusing to create jobs that pay a living wage.  To do that means essentially that most of us will be forced into poverty, and there will be nothing to save us, or protect us from becoming penniless, homeless and from starving. That includes our children.”  Abd el Fattah said the Ryan plan budget is a plan to relieve the rich of their responsibility to pay the debt they imposed upon the United States with their wars, and failed economic schemes.  "They want the poor and middle class to suffer and pay. We say no and we won’t allow it“

            Abd el Fattah said, “12 years ago we had a budget surplus. Now we are trillions of dollars in debt that cannot be paid off because of compound interest schemes and continued increases of the debt limit. Mass joblessness, hunger and homelessness will not solve these problems, and neither will perpetual war and continued fiscal irresponsibility. Summing up her position, Abd el Fattah said “It is time that we reject the obviously wrong ideas of the so called fiscal conservatives who indebted and bankrupted our country. We need a new plan, and a new economic deal for America. We need investment in our people and our infrastructure. “
