Paul Ryan

Yeah...move along. Nothing to see in a $5 Trillion spending cut.

$5 trillion in spending cuts??? Don't you mean $5 trillion in cuts to proposed spending increases??

His plan wouldn't balance the budget until 2040.


Wake up man..... all we have to do is go back to 2005 federal budget to balance the budget. Its a effing sham....

I don't have anything in common with the democratic platform and don't want republicans working towards any common goals with liberals. I want them pushing the conservative agenda hard and walking all over the liberal agenda.

Bailey...I double apologize from before because you in fact kick ass pretty hardcore.

He might have a few issues but overall decent choice. He'll embarrass Joe Biden. Combined with the WI special election, he might bring the cheese state in the red column.

I'm no stranger to Ryan, his philosophy and his record and I consider this a reasonable decision. The comment shared prior; "serious," I find that to be an accurate characterization of the selection.

While initially I’m reluctant to believe this specific choice will be a game-changer at the polls nationally, it does magnify the fact that a healthy focus on Fiscal Policy will be a cornerstone of any future Romney Administration, a stark distinction from the Socialist regime now in-place.

I think anything but BHO is ok at this point. This country cannot afford the deficit to double again if he gets another 4 years in office. We also cant afford the rediculous gun laws he will try to pass as well.

Our government has gotten much bigger than it was designed to be. The ONLY way for the budget to be fixed is to overhaul the welfare and unemployment programs. 60% of our national spending is to social programs. There are to many free loaders mooching off hard working Americans. Until the countries leadership finds a way to fix that, we will always have these problems.

My way or the high way. That's the liberal mindset isn't it?

In the political sense, this could read:

Ryan seems fine to me, but I really think the VP choice is overrated. Heck, even Beeho got elected choosing one of the stupidest idiots of all time.

I gotta say I would take the frikin shoe off of my foot and vote for it before I ever placed a vote for the current idiot in charge, My dog would make a better potus than BHO. I am tired of being lied to every time he opens his mouth. I am willing to trust someone unproven over this idiot that has already proven himself. I guess you can tell which way I am voting regardless of who is VP or not.

5 trillion over 10 years is 500 billion

our deficit (without counting medicare/medicaid/ss) is over 1.3 trillion a year.

and of course, since it's over 10 years, there will be nothing the first 3 or 4 years and all backloaded, which will never happen.

it's a nice plan, but not only will it not pass, it's not even close to being enough.

the word you are looking for is doomed.

^This^ and a meh, little chance of happening even with repub majority in congress.
