The former chair person of Ways and Means was none other than the tax evader who got away with a mere censure: Charlie Rangel, who is 84 years old and STILL get re-elected.

I’d like the IRS to punish me for not paying my taxes with a censure too...

“We will work together to fix the tax code, hold the IRS accountable, strengthen Medicare and Social Security, repair the safety net, promote job-creating trade agreements, and determine how best to repeal and replace ObamaCare with patient-centered solutions,” Ryan said.

Translation for those out in Rio Linda?

'We can do unconstitutional statist socialist stuff better than the Democrats.'

Paul Ryan’s idea of fiscal conservatism is to slow the rate at which the national debt grows but continue deficit spending. Either financially illiterate or just another crony capitalist supporting wealth redistribution.

RE: Paul Ryan’s idea of fiscal conservatism is to slow the rate at which the national debt grows but continue deficit spending.

He was interviewed about it and knows that this is a problem. However, he explains that you can’t suddenly cancel all deficit spending in one shot without causing a huge and massive uproar (and probably cause the GOP to lose seats ). That would not be politically palatable.

Therefore, his plan is to do it slowly and steadily.

At least that’s how I understand his strategy as he espouses it.

The only problem is, There is no such thing as a 10 year budget, any projections are pure fantasy. Considering the vast majority of the moocher and looter class will never vote Republican, who cares if they get mad when the FREE STUFF goes away??

“Pardon me if I don’t get my hopes up.”

Very understandable. Time will tell quickly as his own words do not give confidence that anything will change. We’ll see how far down the rabbit hole we go.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…

DEPOPULATE socialists/progressives/marxists/totalitarians/RINOS/republicans/democrats/incumbents/liberals/criminals/liars/POS punks and con men from the body politic and your life.

DEFUND/DISMANTLE their collectives, agencies, departments, ngos, totalitarian care.

C’mon 2016

(might have to primary Paul)

YOU (and others in CONgre$$) DID build this, Paul…

Socialism Is Legal Plunder - Bastiat

18 trillion $trikes against the citizens of the republic are enough.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The power you get from Ways and Means is you get to control how the money gets spent. Your power is proportional to how much money you spend, because then you control who WON'T get theirs. And bureaucrats will do anything to keep the money coming to them.

So the job incentives you to spend, spend, spend. Seems like Ryan is on board.

This is not good news.

Don’t forget that Paul Ryan is the guy who authored a budget which took from veterans and gave to illegal aliens.

I agree. I don’t trust Lyin’ Ryan. He’s kissed up to the amnesty loving Luis Guitierrez AND Slick Willy, one too many times.

Bonehead selected Chaffetz, over Jordan, to lead the oversight panel.

Not sure how much of an improvement he’ll be over Issa. Guess he can’t be any worse.
