What is in the Ryan budget

disneydude said:
Paul Ryan's plan is not that difficult to understand. If you look at the details the choice is clear. If you believe that "trickle down" economics will work this time around despite its failed history, but you wanna try it one more time.....vote for Romney. If you don't want to go down that same path again....vote Obama. Read Ryan's plan.

Sooo radical. Because getting spending back at 20% of GDP where it was the average for the entire post WW2 era until 2000 is radical. Changing medicare when it represents a 100TRILLION dollar unfunded liability is radical.

Ill take Ryan's plan over the Democrat-no-plan. When was the last time your joke of a party even tried to pass a budget?
Party of no doesnt fly for the first two years when they controlled everything so dont bring out that lie.

Yeah, when will those Democrats address big problems like health care reform, gender equity, gay rights, climate change, etc.? :roll:

Again, the Bowles Simpson plan emerged from the president's debt commission. It addresses the same issues that Ryan addresses, and provides a better, more equitable solution. Obama has adopted much of the plan.

So why didn't President Obama implement any of the "changes"? We all know Obama beleives in change. So what happened?

Look, Ryan's plan doesn't stand a chance of being accepted as is. But it tackles the problem. It demands discussion. What budget problems have the Democrats tackled? Medicare and Medicaid are financial disasters. Where have they put their necks on the line to try to fix our soon-to-be financial insolvency? I'll tell you where: Nowhere at all.

Bill Clinton's chief of staff thinks it's a great plan:

Add cuts to the military and you have all three sectors of government spending....Entitlement, Defense, Discretionary...accounted for and I'd be rather happy with it.

That is if you believe that trillion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy should be financed on the working/middle class and the elderly. Yeah....that's a Great solution!!!!!

No, he proposes to cut rates but they will be paying the same or more in taxes because loop holes are closed.

Hey, look, we're talking about policy! It's a miracle!
