I’ll give Ryan’s budget a C+. It’s a start, a framework, and nothing else. There can be no real solution till we have a conservative president and majority in the Senate. It does lay some good foundation that can be built on though.
Libertarians and many others want it all today. As much as I’d like it to happen, fact is it won’t. Bottom line is they don’t have the clout to make it or anything else happen.
“It’s a start, a framework, and nothing else. There can be no real solution till we have a conservative president and majority in the Senate.”
We’ve been down that road with Bush, and his administration fiscally was just the same old Beltway operation. You say that the Libertartians want it all today and that that isn’t realistic. Perhaps it isn’t realistic, but if we don’t get something close to all of it very soon, we won’t have a recognizable future.
“Realistically” because even people on FR aren’t serious about cutting spending it is clear to me that a financial bus plunge is inevitable.
True. However, let's say for the sake of argument, they had the WH and a supermajority the House and Senate after the next two elections. Their "want it all today" approach would have far-reaching consequences they aren't prepared to handle. Hard to quell riots with stances like "But look at all this liberty you have."
