So......
Reducing the spending increases from 5 to 3.4 is 1.6 percent. That Balances in 2023.

How about another 1.6 percent reduction? Taking it down from 5 to 1.8. Would that take it down to 2018? How about another 1.6? Taking the yearly increases to .2 percent. Would that balance the Budget in2016? I down with that.

I concluded long ago that Ryan is not the least bit serious about this issue (hell he voted to expand Medicare benefits under GWB), this resolution is just for the gullible.

The Dems will make fun of it as it is full of holes and like a dog whistle the gullible will get the idea that it is brilliant, while they pass the CR funding Obama-care.

Ryan's plan is a joke. All of his *plans* have been jokes.

-His growth predictions on the economy have always been wrong. Especially considering that the only reason we have been 'growing' is with debt, inflation, and bubbles.

Bush proved it. Deficit was declining in 2006 and 2007. It was less than 200 billion when dems began the war on capitalism.

Thanks for posting this.

Very few people know this; the MSM of course never reported it.

Pelosi got in and began her attack on the economy shortly after this occurred. The Dems are truly evil.

Ryan IS a joke. Your right.

How can they talk about ten year plans when we can’t even get a one year budget. Rand Paul is the only one who will balance this budget.

Does anyone know if this is true: Ryan plan assumes Obamacare is killed, but the increased Obamacare taxes are kept?
