That was on FNC with Britt Hume. There is no more friendly an audience. And it was about their proposed budget, supposedly Ryans super point.
He was tripped up because as watered down the Ryan plan is to cater to certain voting groups, Romney's plan is even weaker, Britt was asking him when it would bring the budget in balance. So Ryan wasn't sure how to respond directly.
I’m not sure how you answer when a plan will bring the budget back in balance. It’s an idiotic question at this point. I’d shoot for ASAP, hopefully in 24 to 36 months, but a lot hinges on when the economy blasts off, and by how much it does.
When Reagan came into office there was an economic downturn he had to overcome. It took him two to three years, and that was a small situation compared to this.
It’s hard enough balancing the budget with a healthy economy, and now we’ve got a really sick economy. Good luck there.
The important thing now is to get people back to work, and at the same time devise strategies that will see us capitalize on the growing economy to reduce handouts while giving folks incentives to get back to work.
We could lop an easy $500 billion out of Welfare in six months or less. Sorry folks, get off your ass and get moving...
Can’t tell you how many times I hear of folks living in section eight. Does anyone at all besides me pay rent or a mortgage anymore?
