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.

I am a huge fan of Ryan’s but this is simply not a serious proposal. All it does is provide ammunition to the opponents of fiscal responsibility. When we have a Republican in the white house and are just a few votes away from 60 senators, that’s the time to get serious.
