I think Paul Ryan is good and I don’t think he’s “one of them”. The guys got great ideas and if you hold out to until you get EVERYTHING you want you’ll never get ANYTHING you want.
I’m hard a core constitutional conservative but I also realize to get to where you need to be you have to take small steps to get there. The uneducated voters won’t go for massive changes to the right like they did for the entitlement left. You have to ease them into it or you’ll never see “good” change.
Sorry, but I disagree. Has every body forgotten Calvin Coolidge? This is what his administration did, in the 1920’s. Immediately upon being sworn in, his administration cut government spending 50%, and also cut taxes 50%. Oh, there was government consternation for a year. Then the economy took of like a rocket ship. That was the largest growth we’ve ever had. Now, I realize that we owe 17 trillion dollars, and it must be paid. So here is my suggestion: Yes, cut government spending 50%. We can eliminate 3/4 of all our Alphabet Govt. Agencies. That alone will save us about a trillion dollars a year. By cutting taxes, we would actually get more money for the government. And, most important, start utilizing all our sources of energy. We could be the world’s largest exporter of energy. Within 5 to 6 years, we would be the world’s largest lender, and we’ll have everyone paid off, and we’ll have money in the bank.
It is simply a gutless political attempt to avoid making the hard decisions now.
Glad to hear you are hard core. So what hard core conservative principle has Paul Ryan stood for recently?
Its time for the nation to take its medicine.
BALANCE THE BUDGET NOW!!!!
Let the Left whine, moan and get violent. They will totally discredit their cause like the union thugs did getting in Scott Walker’s face in Wisconsin.
It would be nice to hold the line on spending, rather than increase. Once again, it’s compromise on one side only. Very frustrating.
