It’s a campaign document, not a serious budget. Ryan should not have wasted his time and his credibility on something with zero chance of enactment.
You have to be joking. Ryan is among only a handful of people actually addressing the problems in Washington. He has tackled reform of 2 of the 3 major entitlements, and has even now gotten some of the Democrats on board with solutions in his proposals. He has almost single-handedly changed the discussion in Washington.
Of course none of his reforms get through Harry Reid and Obama, which exactly why it is important to present now...to clearly identify what they will not pass unless the Senate is Republican and the White House changes parties. In the early 90s our House minority made all kinds of reform proposals knowing they wouldn’t even get a hearing the Democratic House committees.
Wrong. Any budget that BEGINS with $5 Trillion in cuts is serious, and deserves our attention and support. Idiots like Bartlett-—who simply lost his brain with Bush hatred-—need to be shown the “Democrats only” door.
