Ryan's latest budget plan is better than the first as he now seeks to balance the budget in 10 years. I fear that some sort of compromise or "Grand Bargain" with the Dems will increase taxes and kick the "savings" down the road. It will have some ameliorative impact on the short term deficits, but will not solve our long term problems with entitlements. Tax and spend will prevail.
The problem is everything we know that needs to be done from closing the border to eliminating the free welfare lines takes guts to do. We need strong majorities in both Houses of Congress and the Presidency or strong leaders willing to go down for their beliefs. We have some not enough.
