"SNIP..................................

A few things about Paul Ryan: He wants to end Medicare and give people (those who are 55 and younger at the time of passage) coupons to buy private insurance plans on the market instead. Those coupons would be explicitly designed not to keep up with medical inflation, ensuring seniors pay higher out-of-pocket costs each year until the market collapses.

He wants to convert Medicaid and food stamps into block grants sent to the states and sharply reduced levels. He wants to bring non-defense discretionary spending down to 3% of the federal budget. He wants to slash taxes on the wealthy, giving them an average 12.5% in additional after-tax income. The only reason his budgets haven’t said a word about privatizing or dramatically cutting benefits in Social Security is because his fellow congressmen demanded he not take that on in addition to everything else, at this point. He voted for the Iraq War, Medicare Part D, and TARP.

The Ryan Budget is not just about saving money. He thinks broad social spending programs are immoral in how they foster “dependency.” There’s no other reason to cut every modest discretionary program like that.

Paul Ryan worships Ayn Rand, a sociopath who sneered at those who would give to charity.

1. He is the best VP choice Obama/Biden, and we, could have asked for.

His budget alone will be a gold mine.

4. I think its a gift....and we'll be happy to take it!

6. I am glad it is not Portman

On the chance that he might have made a difference in Ohio.

We have to endure a month or so of the "liberal" media doing a circle jerk on how much of a STAR Ryan is (after having followed the republican's lead dismissing President Obama for two months four years ago for being a star).

But, end of the day, this is an intellectual lightweight who voted for everything Bush did to create most of the problems we face today and beyond looking good offers nothing of substance.

His SERIOUS budget does not balance until 2028.

2028.

5. Add on that he voted for the auto bailout

Which Romney opposed in addition to opposing TARP.
