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.
Right on. And since nothing locks Congress in for more than a year or so, the budget would probably never be balanced under his plan.
A good conservative plan would not roll back spending to the bloated year 2008 and claim that it is cutting deeply into the size of government, not talk about "across the board" cuts. A good conservative plan would not take 1/2 the budget off the table for discussion. A good conservative plan would address the areas that need to be eliminated or cut back severely, not contend that reductions can take place without any layoffs, only thru attrition. Bottom line: Paul Ryan's "path to prosperity" is a farce. It is just an alternative big-spending plan put on the table to avoid discussion of any true reform and giving cover to all the big-government RINOS.
