    Sons, Paul Ryan's economic "plan" would induce trillion dollar deficits every year... nothing would be cut, money for social programs would just be rerouted to the military.... the dollar would lose its reserve status, we would be Greece 2.0...
    We are already on the path for Greece 2.0, except it will be so much bigger.

    US can't become Greece. US can print money, Greece can't

    US sells bonds a very low price, and finds plenty of buyers. Greece sells bonds at very high rates and doesn't

    typical right-wing bull

    Is that why you think we can endlessly go into debt?

    That isn't a good thing for us...

    Good luck finding buyers if we lose reserve currency status, B....

    A better comparison with Greece would be several govt-hating Repug red states that would be bankrupt if the Feds didn't bail them out every year.

    IMHO Ryan was a bold but stupid choice.

    Ryan actually presented a serious plan to address serious problems we face that his opponents can use against him.

    What the is he doing in Politics?

    For all of their bloated bureaucracy, they are still more efficient than private insurance.

    Same care for less money.

    "I believe my record of getting things done in Congress will be a very helpful complement to Governor Romney’s executive and private sector success outside Washington," Ryan told an excited crowd aboard the ship "I have worked closely with Republicans as well as Democrats to advance an agenda of economic growth, fiscal discipline, and job creation."
    I thought this statement by Ryan was pretty damn funny. He's the chair of the Budget Committee and claiming that he has gotten things done?

    this almost makes me willing to vote for Obama. Almost.

    And what is so funny about that? We all know that en lements are the 800 pound gorilla in the room. Some just don't have the balls to talk about it.

    It's not his fault that the Senate is run by a spineless kunt like Harry Reid that won't let anything even get to a vote. If you disagree with what the House voted on and approved, put it in front of the Senate and let them vote too..

    His idea of "cuts" would just be shifting money from social programs to the already-bloated military, his plan would result in trillion-dollar deficits every year, and the debt-to-GDP ratio would grow so much that our dollar would be ed (especially since he'd never even touch the money-printing Fed)...

    There was nothing in his plan about increasing military spending. You and butons really shouldn't rely so much on thinkprogress for your news.

    The CBO report, prepared at Chairman Ryan’s request, shows that Ryan’s budget path would shrink federal expenditures for everything other than Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and interest payments to just 3¾ percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) by 2050. Since, as CBO notes, “spending for defense alone has not been lower than 3 percent of GDP in any year [since World War II]” and Ryan seeks a high level of defense spending — he increases defense funding by $228 billion over the next ten years above the pre-sequestration baseline — the rest of government would largely have to disappear.

    Son, our dollar will probably be ed by the time that plan is supposed to actually balance the budget, due to Willard and Ryan's expensive neocon chickenhawk agenda at home and abroad, coupled with the rising debt-to-GDP ratio and the Fed's inflationary policies....
