Will America survive that long?
I’ll believe it when I see it!

[DakotaGator]

The GOP is long on promises. But when it comes time to actually do something, they choke!

[jwparkerjr]

I am so tired of hearing about the next decade or the next two decades. It NEVER works out like they say it will. Tell me about TOMORROW and next week. THIS budget year, not what you say you will do down the road. It's like the obese person who's eating Krispy Kreme donuts and vowing they will go on a diet TOMORROW.

When I see a forecast talking about what will be saved over the next decade I know I'm hearing spin. Or more correctly BS.

[NewHampshireDuo]

Means nothing if they don’t front load the cuts.

[Don Corleone]

Stop ALL foreign aid!

[BobL]

The 4 Trillion still leaves us about 10 Trillion too short.

We must cut and reform the big entitlements, such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid (or raise taxes by a huge amount).

Without doing the above, the dollar crashes, and it’s GAME OVER for the US as an economic superpower.

But judging from the reception that I get here when I bring up Social Security reform at this so-called conservative site (i.e., make it into a means-tested welfare program), it AIN’T GOING TO HAPPEN.

...so get ready for a ride to the bottom.

Ryan said the changes to Medicare and Medicaid would not reduce spending on those programs. Rather, he said, they would slow their rate of growth from an otherwise "unsustainable" trajectory.

Same old, same old. Too little, too late.

[cranked]

Amounts to wishful thinking due to kamikaze democrats and libtards.... =.=

[Opinionated Blowhard]

What I can’t understand is why we can’t ramp it down two trillion in two years. We added a trillion dollars per year to the budget over the past two years. Why can’t that simply be rolled back? The GOP is playing on the Dems turf here.

[NoGrayZone]

Over the next decade? How about the next year??

[org.whodat]

Another frigging joke, the last newt glide path worked at real well, could we just contract out congress to some illegals and save a ton of money.

[NoLibZone]

Fail.

Cut 4 Trillion TODAY or be replaced.

[NoLibZone]

Ryan said Sunday that the GOP proposal would reform the tax code but focus on spending cuts and entitlement reform to achieve savings.

"We don't have a tax problem," Ryan said. "We have got to stop spending money we don't have."

Fire Ryan.

[babble-on]

Lovin me some Paul Ryan

[PGalt]

Thanks for posting.

Defund collectivist’s collectives. Let them live or die on their own. It’s 2011. Wake up.

[pyx]

The main opponent to GOP recommended cuts to the tax dollar budget will be, GOP Speaker Boehner. Boehner has definitively proven he is as much a RINO as Lindsay Graham.

[sand88]

Smoke and Mirrors, all a big joke. The GOP leadership is a total failure. Nothing the technocrat Ryan will do will severely reduce government. The same with Boehner.

Where is the talk of eliminating whole departments?? At the rate we are going, our Republic will surely not last 10 years.

I am convinced more and more that we will either decay into a total Socialist hell, or Revolution II will happen. I see no other way that things unfold. Either option will be painful, but only one has the potential to bring us back to Liberty.

[AndyJackson]

said his party's budget proposal for 2012 would cut deficits by more than $4 trillion over the next decade

Starting with $0 to $61B this year. The only budget that is law is this years's budget. It is always lots of fun to promise outyear money to everyone, but outyear money is even less real that Federal Reserve notes.

[Outlaw Woman]

I can’t see that happening unless entire departments are obliterated.

GOP Budget Plan to Cut More Than $4 Trillion Over Decade, Rep. Ryan Says

"Why of COURSE it WILL happen, $4 Trillion over ten years, my dear! What do you think we Republicans are, humbugs?..."
