Paul Ryan
We, Conservatives, TEA Party folk are watching.
He is going to propose reductions in spending, let's see who protests. (no doubt Grandma is going to be eating dog food very soon).

A vigorous political blog, not for the fainthearted.

Your "I'm not a legislator" is the lamest excuse for ignorance yet seen on this board.
I look forward to Ryan's proposals. I think he is a serious guy. He has not been able to get many Republicans to sign on to his past plans as they are specific and effectively call for the phased elimination of Social Security and Medicare. Unlike most in his party - including the Good Doc - he doesn't just employ empty rhetoric. He is serious about cost cutting and his suggestions open him up to a lot of criticism. Ultimately, his proposals would create a level of government below that which is expected by the vast majority of Americans. You will not see the GOP caucus support his plans if they are as spartan as they have been in the past.
Many Democrats will bitch. Hopefully, we'll put together some spending cuts and future tax hikes that leave both sides complaining.
David Schweikert will be firmly in the Paul Ryan camp. Philosophically, they are two peas in a pod.
Ryan did not sign on to the Debt Commission proposals for political reasons. It is a shame, as he lost some of his credibility. He is still one of the good guys in that he is willing to tread territory that most in Congress - on both sides of the aisle - avoid. I look forward to his plans as a starting point on the right. Pelosi will no doubt bring plans from the left, and we'll go from there.
DO YOU NEED SOME FIBER?

THE LAMEST? MORE THAN THE FANTASY THAT OUR DISCUSSION REALLY RUN THINGS?

SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THAT THE ENTITLEMENTS WHICH ARE BREAKING US ARE PERMANENT? OK THEN. THE WHOLE ARGUMENT IS THAT CONSERVATIVES WANT TO REDUCE SPENDING, THAT IS IT.
YOUR BS ABOUT HOW I, WE, THEY HAVE NO SPECIFIC PROPOSALS IS...A LIE.
THE MAN HAS A PLAN, I SUPPORT HIS PLAN, BUT YOUR SIDE IS GOING TO SCREAM OVER EVEN THE MOST MODEST OF REDUCTIONS, JUST WAIT. AND THE DEBT AND DEFICIT? NOT FROM UNDERTAXATION BUT FROM OVER PROMISING THAT WHICH WE CANNOT AFFORD AND (AS I HAVE SAID MANY A TIME) THE POLITICAL SCREAMING FROM THE LEFT WHENEVER FISCAL SANITY IS PROPOSED.
AS YOU NOTE, IT WILL BE THE LEFT OPPOSING ANY BUDGET CUTS.
