All libs can do is demagogue. Its pathetic. 2040 to reaching a balanced budget is better than collapse.

So, Eugene, how many people have voted for the Obama budgets? All of them together - what, 500 votes total, counting repeated voters, in both houses? Or am I being far too generous and the actual total is less than a hundred?
Ahh, yes, it’s always so much easier to be critical of that which was never really on the table, vs that which even hardline Democrats can’t stomach.

Big government, in his worldview, is inherently bad never mind that we live in an awfully big country. Eugene Robinson lives in an awfully big empty space between his ears.

Please Postfools, don’t even THINK of talking math.
It’s beyond your meager capabilities.

That comment to “Postfools” is - of course - to the Wash ComPost dorks...not to we conservatives, who even on a bad day are far, far, far above the typical “progressive”.

If Rep. Paul Ryan wants people to take his budget manifestos seriously, he should be honest about his ambition: not so much to make the federal government fiscally sustainable as to make it smaller.Worse things than the government missing a few meals could happen, Eugene.
Its amazing how far things have slid since Reagan, who won two landslides by campaigning on smaller government.
Robinson talks about small govenment politicians the same way McCarthy talked about closet communists 60 years ago.

Ryan and Mitt Romney offered their vision, President Obama offered his, and Americans made their choice. Rather emphatically.
Such a comment is nonsensical. Both Obama and Ryan were reelected in 2012 so yes, Americans did make their choice.
AMERICANS STUPIDLY CHOSE TO GIVE THE CLOWN A SECOND CHANCE AND REINSTATED THE GOP LED HOUSE - WHERE ALL BUDGET, APPROPRIATION, AND TAX BILLS ORIGINATE - KEEPING THE REPUBLICANS IN CHARGE TO KEEP A CHECK ON CLOWN'S TREASONOUS SPENDING OF OUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS WEALTH.
Of course then the stupid party goes and reelects the Weeper of the House whose only ambition is appears, is to make "BI-PARTISAN" deals with the Liar In Chief.

"...as to make it smaller...."
And, that is a problem - how?
Dolt.
To: Cheerio
Ryan and the committee (Pubbie members) are on CSPAN 1 now discussing the budget plan.
To: Cheerio
E: Both Obama and Ryan were reelected in 2012 so yes, Americans did make their choice.
Liberals will argue that Ryan was re-elected by only his constituents in a small section of Wisconsin, while Obama was re-elected by 51% of the UNITED STATES with over 60 million votes..

Ryan and Mitt Romney offered their vision, President Obama offered his, and Americans made their choice. Rather emphatically. Eugene's comment is especially superfluous when it was the 'news' media, whom the general public depends upon to make informed voting decisions, who made their choice first.

A retort to that argument is that the entire nation elected a GOP led house, in order to put a check and balance on this DICKtator.

As opposed to the Democratic party proposal authored by Rose E. Scenario.

I stopped reading right there. A far-left bigot second to none.
