“Asked about the scale of his budget’s spending reductions”
The key word is reductions. So, if one intends to take in 10 dollars and expect to spend 16, then the reductions would amount to 12...or a deficit of 2 dollars.
I have convinced my congressman to vote for nothing but a balanced budget minus 10% for debt reduction. We will see..
“Paul Ryan made clear that the Republican budget will protect Big Oil companies subsidies over seniors health care”
Do they even bother to write up new cue cards for each time they speak?
Notice how the RINOs unveil 2012 to the public, when what’s staring us in the face right now is the rest of 2011? Ryan said something on Hannity’s radio show about looking into *legally* defunding Obamacare - I think. It was hard to tell because of his verbal Houdini act.
The focus should be on what cuts can be made this year and next.
At that point, cuts will be labeled irresponsible and Republicans will be blamed for setting off recession II. At which point, you-know-who gets a second term.
Watch. It's coming.
