“TOTAL SAVINGS: $2.5 Trillion over Ten Years “ This means nothing as the cuts are never enacted, Are these spread over 10 years or are they immediate? The cuts also have to go through the Senate and Crazy Harry will not even bring them up for a vote. Every congress can reject the “cuts” of the previous congress by refusing to implement them. The idiosyncrasies of funding in the federal government are so Byzantine as to be maddening,

So tell me Paul “amnesty” Ryan, will you give un update as to how many cuys actually were ebacted with the next budget? I am not holding my breath.

Hey, Mr. Ryan - all these cuts are obliterated when you support amnesty.

I agree.

And what’s he gonna do about voting to give Obama the billions he wants for “resettlement” of the “refugees” now flooding the country?

Anyway, if Paul Ryan is the best the Republicans have, I’d say we’re in terrible shape.

Well, since Ryan is a TRAITOR, and deserves to have his entrails removed, and wrapped around the Capitol building... I refuse to listen to ANYTHING else he has to say, no matter how "good" it might be.

If he said that drinking poison were bad for you, I would imbibe deeply. Mr. Ryan espouses the idea that physical fitness is important... in fact, since he has betrayed us, I have gained 50 lbs!

In that documentary about Mitt Romney’s Presidential quests, I thought that I remember him saying during the 2012 race (musing in private) that we may be as little as 5 years away from reaching a tipping point where we can’t fix our financial issues as a country.

So, if that’s true and we’ve had 2 more years of Obama’s “economic terrorism against America”, what sounds in the least bit serious about what Paul Ryan wants to do?

ANY budget plan that extends over three years into the future is complete BS, a sham and a total waste of taxpayer dollars.

Where's the link?

Well I have no problem with any of this except it does not really cut the size of government. Closing down some useless agencies will do two things. It will actually cut the size and scope of government and get rid of a lot of the progressive civil servants that have been strategically place in mid level mgt in agencies such as EPS, Energy, Education etc.

Notice Ryan’s cuts don’t touch the EPA or the TSA or DHS that I can see. maybe I missed something. So basically he’s OK with the Police State.
