Whatever objections anyone might have to various details in Rep. Paul Ryan's bold new plan to cut $5 trillion of government waste, one fact trumps all else: Unlike Democrats, he offers solutions, not denial.

That 5 trillion is over 10 years.

Which would be fine if Congress would take the next 10 years off.

The problem is they will be back next year with another 10 year plan.

At least the oligarchs in The Soviet Union had the decency to keep their "plans" to 5 years.
