He sucks why?

Because as budget Chair he's going to do his job and negotiate a budget?

Really?

There are approximately 80 other posts on this thread laying out reasons why he “sucks”. Not sure why you singled me out but peruse the thread and pick one.

Wow. Someone on Free Republic who is actually employing logic and rationale rather than having a hissy fit with their emotions.

Kudos to you.

You are, of course, correct. That is his role.

We don't control the Senate. We don't control the White House.

Ryan actually should have gone to Conference months ago. The Senate called our bluff and actually passed a budget this year (first time since 2009).

Per regular order, the House MUST hold a Conference with the Senate budget to work out the discrepancies.

Ryan was under tremendous pressure to bring this mess to yet another "cliff" and beyond.

Last week, many GOP House members realized too late that they have painted themselves into a corner.

They know they can either raise the debt ceiling before great harm is done to the US economy, or after great harm has been done to the US economy.

We have done that, and the gain was always going to be minimal given the two inconvenient facts again:

We don't control the Senate. We don't control the White House.

Once the America voter corrects the above, then it is another ballgame - but unfortunately, we have millions of lazy, immoral Takers who voted otherwise (not to mention a rigged election due to the IRS scandal and voter fraud, but that is another conversation).

Any budget agreement, be in yet another CR or a real budget (the first in years) has to be negotiated.

Ryan warned yesterday, in no uncertain terms, that if have a technical default (and prioritizing payments is a default by another name), then the interest rates on our debt will skyrocket, and that slice of the Federal budget we now make in debt payments will eat the budget alive.
