They need the issue to stay in power. Our Speaker is actually trying to come up with a solution that reforms entitlements

This is why I'm eager to move on toward the Ryan plan which shines a spotlight specifically on entitlements.

The Ryan plan will include more cuts for '12 than are in the current debt debate.

I think that debate is going to push more Americans toward agreeing on deeper cuts which is why Obama is putting it off and trying to extend this debt crisis for as long as he can.

It's not enough for us to be fiscal conservatives we have to show the American people that we can return America to fiscal sanity without hurting too many people. Sen. DeMint was suggesting returning to the 2008 baseline which would balance the budget in 10 years. He understands it can't be done all at once.

I love cut, cap, & balance but we can't get it past Reid.
