Good. His talent would be wasted on this useless commission. As usual, amidst all the BS, Ryan is one of the exceedingly few addressing the fundamental, systemic drivers of our debt and prommulgating workable plans to address it. "If we are truly going to put the country's fiscal house in order, it will not be enough to temporarily reduce what Washington spends...We haven't seen a budget passed in the Senate in two years," he continued. "The president hasn't put out a specific plan to fix this problem, and they don't even want to go with structural entitlement reform which is what you have to do to fix this problem, prevent this downgrade and get this economy growing."

The Committee is a fool’s errand.

But all of our fellow FReepers told us Boehner had it in for Ryan, was against Ryan and would never have appointed him to the commission to spite him and everyone else. Now it seems Ryan didn’t even want to be part of the commission.

Free Republic is filled with countless idiots these days ... Nobody in this country has any reason anymore ...

Did you not post the same exact BS yesterday???? Ryan is a fool trying to hide his record, he voted for TARP and helled whip the vote, and he did the same damn thing with this boner cave. Now he runs around saying my hands are clean. Give me a list of what departments the fool would cut today for a balanced budget.

Smart move - it would be like being offered free tickets on the Titanic.

Now that I see the lineup of the absolute Socialist Rogues Gallery the Democrats have appointed I agree. This panel would be a complete waste of his time and talents.

Fred Upton. Fred Upton? The guy that authored the 2007 light bulb standards and now can’t figure out why he can’t get a repeal through?

That guy?

Cap and Trade winking Fred Upton who got such conservative opposition for his committee appointment...that Fred?

Oh, Mr. Speaker!

"If we are truly going to put the country's fiscal house in order, it will not be enough to temporarily reduce what Washington spends," he said. "We must permanently reform the process by which working American’s hard-earned tax dollars are spent"

It'll be the same circle-jerk as the debt fiasco. He'll never get Boner to agree with it enough to push for it. Then he'll cower in the corner untill he signs onto whatever Boner and the democrats want.

God on him. I would not want that committee’s turds hung around my neck either.

[Lancey Howard]

Since the entire purpose of this ridiculous commission is to give Republicans cover to help the rats raise taxes, I can’t blame Ryan for wanting no part of it. The only thing left to see is which of the twelve Republicans is in a “safe” enough district to help the scumbags raise taxes.

Pray for America. Pray for gridlock.

Paul Ryan did the right thing. He wisely decided he didn’t want any part of this Cluster F**k.
