My spanish is a little rusty but what the heck does 'long live the election' mean?

He might mean long live the dead voters who arise to vote dem each election
 
I asked about the leap to the deficit then you backpedal to ‘seniors and the poor’. Why do you keep doing that? Here let me post again the comparison of the two plans with respect to debt/deficit:

Deficit in 2016
BHO plan - $529b
PTP - $241b

Debt accumulated in 2022
BHO plan - $6.4t
PTP - $3.1t

But you’re right about the BHO plan cutting from seniors. His cutting plan is included in the ACA which is about to get nullified which means that he will not be cutting Medicare or ‘increasing costs for seniors and states’ after all. So, again, let me state clearly YOU ARE RIGHT!

Thanks for the crystal ball reading!

If you choose to believe Ryan's assumptions, that is your choice.

"There’s an important disclaimer in the very first paragraph of the Congressional Budget Office’s analysis of Paul Ryan’s budget plan.

The calculations presented here represent CBO’s assessment of how the specified paths would alter the trajectories of federal debt, revenues, spending, and economic output relative to the trajectories under two scenarios that CBO has analyzed previously. Those calculations do not represent a cost estimate for legislation or an analysis of the effects of any given policies. In particular, CBO has not considered whether the specified paths are consistent with the policy proposals or budget figures released today by Chairman Ryan as part of his proposed budget resolution.

Translated out of CBO-ese, what that means is that CBO hasn’t looked at whether Ryan’s budget will achieve the results Ryan says it will. Rather, it looked at what will happen assuming Ryan’s budget achieves the results that Ryan says it will."

I've already stated that the GOP plan slashes funding for seniors and the poor to provide bigger tax cuts for the rich, while the president's plan does not.
In fact the US President has already been attacking the poor and the elderly through his energy policies.

There his only one remaining explanation for this supposedly smart (though a beneficiary of the quota system) man's bungling of the US economy, and every other department with which he has come in contact. He is doing it deliberately. That he deliberately set out to destroy America. There is no other rationalization explanation.

You DO understand the word 'budget' right? It is not my intention to validate either budget as being a certainty (as it would be impossible) but rather to show you the comparison between the two 'predictions'.
 
And for clarity note how popular the BHO budget is in the House:

Minutes earlier, the House also defeated Mr. Obama’s own budget, submitted last month, on a 414-0 vote arranged by Republicans to embarrass the president and officially shelve his plan.
