Your unrealistic viewpoint is useless.

"...if Ryan really used a 2.8 unemployment number"

I guess it's too early to correctly read the chart! Its 2.8% budget growth (v.OBozo's 4.7%) NOT unemployment!

If Ryan were serious he would reduce excessive federal spending by eliminating all federal agencies not in compliance with any of the enumerated powers granted to Congress in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution.

Yeah, he'll get right on that with a commie President in the WH and Dem controlled senate.

Hannity also likes it. Why, I don’t know. It takes 26 years under his plan to balance the budget with no guarantees that politicians who get elected later on have to stick by it.

I'll have to look it up but I believe this is inaccurate. It balances sooner than this.

Which is actually the problem. Ryan's proposal sounds spectacular because he throws around a lot of big numbers but in reality it takes a long time if left intact to balance the budget. Since it will go into negotians with the Dems it will only get worse from here.

Since Ryan’s proposal is non-binding on future Congresses, it is useless. We don’t want future cuts, we want cuts NOW! Why is it the spending is immediate, but the cuts are always in the future?

He throws around a shorter time frame but he is actually using the same accounting gimmick Obama uses, which is ignoring the interest paid on the Federal debt, to make his numbers.

VR....

Thanks for the historical references, you saved me from having to look for them and post them. Sarah may have commented on the "Ryan Plan" eons before your links, with a quip to the effect I really like what Paul Ryan is doing, and this is way before Nov 10' in the darkest hours of reign of error of Obama, if my memory is correct.

The bottom line, she is way ahead of the curve as usual...

You are the funniest poster on FreeRepublic! Thank you for always making me laugh. No matter how bad the situation gets, you find something to say that just brings a huge smile to my face. That is a rare gift... never lose it!

"His budget actually adds, trillions and trillions and more trillions to the national debt. "

LMAO!!!! Just like O'Buttboy! Ryan proposes the diametrically opposed opposite of what O'Bunghole has done, and you predict it will have the exact same effect as what O'Bongo is doing!?

Priceless!!! I LOVE it! You are a gas. Keep the jokes coming, my FRiend.

8^D

It will take a total collapse to bring them to their senses.

I like Ryan's plan (with reservations), but you're right.

This gets my vote for FreeRepublic Post Of The Year.

I am dead serious.

EPA, ATF, FDA, HUD, HEW, all gone, instantly disbanded. IRS, PBS, NPR, EFA all unfunded immediately. Just for starters.

That's odd. nobody else has said that. Everyone else is impressed with his plan. What's your hero's plan?

So the graph in post 16 is a lie, I had no ideal, you had proved it wrong, could you give me the link to your proof.

You make another point which is true. There is no guarantee that the plan can be carried out from one congress to another. It is just a roadmap to a destination. It will have to be hammered out mile by mile.

This is why we have to work so hard to get Tea Party types, Constitutional Conservatives, in office at all levels of govt.

You are also welcome to prove the graph in post 16 wrong, and prove that the growth figures are true. And the democrats want a government shutdown to use against the republicans, they think it is their path to return to control of congress. Now grandstand all you wish, it does not change the facts.
