Cutting $5T (presumably over 10 years) is a good start. I’d prefer to see more of the cuts sooner, as well as much bigger cuts. Still, Ryan’s budget is better than anything else on the table in DC.
Any budget they do should not have any debt limit increases in it.
The failure of the GOP in congress for reasonable budgets the last couple years should have prevented any debt increase needed.
Are your sure they're actual cuts, and not mere reductions in the projected growth of spending?
“Still, Ryan’s budget is better than anything else on the table in DC.”
Thats what scares me. “Well at least we have spam”.
We pay these morons $174,000 plus a year with healthcare and a primo retirement package. They should be able to balance the budget every year. Not in 10 years and not some pie in the sky BS which is what Ryan’s plan is. It stinks.
Its worthless. He still can’t bear to bring himself to name even one destructive, unecessary govt agency which could be shut down next year or the next year or in 10 years. I can name 4-5. Privatize the airport security and you get rid of 60,000 TSA/former Denney’s workers. Shut down the EPA and merge the Dept of Energy with the Dept of the Interior. Shut down the Dept of Educ and HUD. Break up and sell off Fannie and Freddie next year. Take the write down and get it over with. Take IBM up on its offer of free software to get rid of the 35% waste and fraud in Medicare. On and on I can name ways to save. So can every Freeper.
So no Paul Ryan’s plan is not good, its not even poor. It sucks. He wants to do it the easy way. He calls it “closing the loopholes”. Thats weasel speak for sticking it to Mr. and Mrs. America but leaving big govt behind so the republicans can take over and then they get the power. If left to the Paul Ryan’s of the world the US govt bureaucracy which is IMO the single worst obstacle to getting the constitutional republic and our capitalist economic system back will never shrink in any significant way.
