Where 2012 GOP hopefuls stand on the Ryan budget [Donald Trump says it hurts seniors]
MSNBC ^ | 4/13/2011 | Carrie Dann

TRUMP

Emphasizing that he “cherish[es] our seniors,” The Donald said in an interview that Republicans are on a risky “ledge” by backing a plan that could be perceived as hurting older Americans. “I’d have to study the plan,” Trump said in an interview on CNN. “I will tell you, I think it's very dangerous for the Republicans to go on this ledge, because I, for one, would have to be very, very careful.”

“I have a lot of respect for Paul Ryan, but what is happening is the Republicans are going way, way, way far out on the ledge,” he said. .

I don’t think trump has ever filed, came close but never filed. He has sued several people for saying he has, so you may be hearing from his attorney.

You may not last too long here on FR with that attitude towards other FReepers.

NOT Donald Trump... NOT now ... NOT ever!

I couldn't agree more. Trump is a BIG GOVERNMENT PROGRESSIVE. He's for socialized health care, gun control, taxing the "rich" to pay for CommieCare, and supports LIBERALS and progressive/RINO politicians. To make matters even worse, George Soros is a major investor in Trump's properties.

Trump is a trojan horse and WILL get Hussein re-elected if he runs as an independent as he has threatened. I cannot believe how many people are falling for this phony leftist fraud!

I’d like to know why Trump supported government-run universal healthcare, up until he decided to ride the tea party wave. And why he supported politicians (Hillary and John Kerry) for president.

Trump is a fraud, I don’t care how many radio hosts ignore this. Like I said, I’m starting to doubt some people out there.

Trump is a phony and a fraud. This rush to jump on the Trump bandwagon will backfire at some point.

The only question is, how many Republicans will he hoodwinked by Trump’s pandering.

I seriously doubt conservatives will give their vote to this huckster.

He recently donated $10,000 to Harry Reid’s effort to beat Angle. How much more evidence do they need??

Trump needs to educate himself. I would suggest to him, read Milton Friedman, and then read Thomas Sowell.

Once you’ve finished Donald, come back and we’ll test your newly acquired knowledge of true conservative economics.

A good conservative plan would have the budget balanced before 2030. A child born today will have graduated college by the time Ryan’s plan balances.

A good conservative plan would have the right assumptions. Ryan assumes this years deficit will be $1.355 trillion. It is coming in north of $1.6 trillion.

And even if he did all of that it would barely put a dent in the deficit. All of that barely comes close to our $1.6T deficit.

To balance the budget, SS, Medicare and Defense have to be addressed.

And the current crop of Repubs are even more afraid of being seen as hurting senors.

The last time Trump was going to run back in '99, he wanted to tax the rich to payoff the debt.

Karl Marx would be proud.

No sunshine, he isn’t right. Ryans plan makes medicare and SS viable, and does NOTHING to Seniors now on those programs, or those in their 50’s.

Read his bill before you comment. And the establishment R’s are frauds, I would agree, save for maybe 1 or 2. But Ryan is NOT.

SO..... 3.7 TRILLION BUDGET. RAISE TAXES = 400B. CUT 19% ACROSS-THE-BOARD = 700B. REVENUE IS 2.6 PLUS 1.1T(400B + 700B) =3.7T = BALANCED BUDGET IN 2012.....We don’t have time for these 5 and 10 year plans when who knows who will be in office. Do it NOW. ....I don’t mind sacrificing for one year if the goal is a balanced budget for our Country. .....otherwise these lying politicians will stretch it out for their own benefit. Hell, the GOP Ryan plan that cuts soooo much doesn’t balance the budget for A QUARTER OF A CENTURY, in 2040. ..Rand Paul’s plan takes till 2015...Hell No!....BALANCE IT NOW.....otherwise I have no confidence at all that these politicians will keep their word longer than one election cycle.

Semper Fi.
