Fact Check: Ryan budget plan doesn't actually slash the budget

hmm ... time to start buying gold and canned goods.
OUCH - that's gonna hurt. He's just as interested in cutting the deficit as all other Republicans.
That is why, when anyone talks about how they want to cut this and want to cut that...doesn't matter...because they aren't going to cut anything...they just increase less...
They are constantly chasing the tiger's tail...whenever they get close they simply slow down and let the tiger get away again...they could care less about balancing the budget...if they were serious they would see the need for cuts in military spending and foreign "aid".that’s right! Can’t we all just get together and focus on our real enemies: monogamous gays and stem cells… - Ned Flanders

Besides, when these corporations are more regulated, all they do is fund politicians that vote and address legislation in their favor. By taking that away, you take away the power they seek.
You've lost me here. How does removing corporate regulations, and giving them free reign to do whatever they like, reduce their power?0 -

They can't alter the legislation put on them with large donations. You wouldn't see Goldmann Sachs forking out money to both of our candidates because it would be essentially pointless. They would have lost their political pull.0 -

Crap everyone wants to retire...
How about, was forced into retirement in 2008, with their 401(k) having just lost 40%.
This thing about working until one's 70s is a fantasy. Corporations have no desire to have 70-year olds working for them. They want to clear these people out and hire younger, cheaper labor. Yeah yeah, there are age discrimination laws. But they are a joke. Corporations can easily just get rid of the old people whenever they want, and get cheaper employees (or outsourcing) in their place. Workers have no rights. So now you're going from, say, an engineering job to being a greeter at Wal-Mart. If that's what you want to call "working" then great, but it's not going to pay the mortgage, or the greatly increased health insurance costs because of Ryan's voucher program.
we are downsizing from a large 6 figure income...
the business is downsizing from a multi million dollar annual income...
people do what they have to do, they change and adapt.
They also realize what is really important in life.
The country should learn to do this and stop running in the red or we are going

Paul Ryan Can’t Escape Own Budget Package In Debut Solo Interview
http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/ ... hp?ref=fpb
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have insisted they’re not running on the House budget plan Ryan’s best known for. Romney has his own economic plans, vague as they may be, and his campaign has tried to emphasize they’re different from Ryan’s.
Ryan’s first solo interview as the Republican VP nominee suggested not everyone is persuaded.
Ryan repeatedly tried to deflect attention from his own highly controversial budget proposal in an interview with Fox News’s Brit Hume Tuesday. Ryan’s plan is both a rallying point for conservatives and a whipping boy for Democratic strategists.
Hume didn’t buy the suggestion that the Romney-Ryan ticket wasn’t running on Ryan’s budget plan, and the interview focused largely on Ryan’s budget package. In one exchange on balancing the budget, Hume objected when Ryan tried to talk about Romney’s plan — which has drawn fire for being vague at best. Hume insisted Ryan talk about his own economic vision, which doesn’t bring the budget into balance for decades.
Ryan couldn’t predict when Romney’s plan would balance the budget.
Hume: The budget plan you’re now supporting would get to balance when?
Ryan: Well, there are different — the budget plan that Mitt Romney is supporting gets us down to 20 percent of GDP government spending by 2016. That means get the size of government back to where it historically has been. What President Obama has done is he brought the size of government to as high as it hasn’t been since World War II. We want to reduce the size of government to have more economic freedom.
Hume: I get that. What about balance?
Ryan: I don’t know exactly what the balance is. I don’t want to get wonky on you but we haven’t run the numbers on that specific plan. The plan we offer in the House balances the budget. I’d put a contrast. President Obama, never once, ever, has offered a plan to ever balance the budget. The United States Senate, they haven’t even balanced, they haven’t passed a budget in three years.
Hume: I understand that. But your own budget, that you —
Ryan: You are talking about the House budget?
Hume: I’m talking about the House budget. Your budget will be a political issue in this campaign.
Ryan: The House budget doesn’t balance until the 2030s under the current measurement of the CBO baseline.
There are two things happening here. First, Ryan is unable to change the conversation away from the House budget, which Democrats, and reportedly some Republicans, are convinced is a guaranteed loser this fall.
Second, for all Ryan’s skill as the GOP’s budget whiz, not even he can say when Romney’s budget will balance, feeding into criticisms that the Romney budget plan is not yet fully formed.
The Romney campaign certainly wants to run on its own plans, not Ryan’s. But that’s increasingly looking like a tough sell.0 -

That is pretty clever. Though, it did make me want to punch them all in the face starting with Obama. I need my coffee.hippiemom = goodness0 -
If Ryan had proposed defense cuts as part of this plan, whoa man would Obama and Biden have been in trouble. But of course, he didn't do that.
Though I do wonder why we can't look at the plan as individual parts rather than a whole. It seems we are always looking for 1 guy to bring 100% to the table. That's not the way the government should even work. Not to mention, Ryan going out on a limb here shows he is willing to lead. Now, if the idiots in Washington could ever get over the "team game" concept and work towards solutions, Ryan's plan is a great source of information and opportunities.hippiemom = goodness0 -

just because he's "willing to lead" doesn't automatically include "in the right direction"...0
