Congressman Ryan: Our nation’s sovereignty is at stake

Just a great speech and I post it because in one speech you can see and hear what is at stake in the budget battle: the liberty and freedom of our nation. Please watch it all.

While Debbie Wasserman Schultz demagogues medicare and social security … Congressman Paul Ryan spells out the danger we face if we don’t change our evil spending ways and why Canada warns it citizens to not be like America. Pay close attention to the 5:26 mark where Ryan explains what kind of tax rates we face if we don’t stop spending.

    I get so sick of Republicans in Action Only like Ryan spreading their facts.

      Tim, would you vote for a Perry/West ticket in 2012? I sure as hell would.. We have got to flush these socialists down the tubes

    Those are not facts. They are projections based on a set of assumptions which may or may not hold water in the future. Even your financial advisor says that past performance is no guarantee of future returns.

    Why is Congressman Ryan the only one? in Washington that knows basic math? God bless him. I wish we had MANY more like him.

    @ sammy22…? Everything that goes on in Washington is based on projection rather than fact…

    Projected cost of programs?which almost always seem to cost more than expected.
    Projected revenue to be collected when taxes are raised which almost always turns out to be less than expected.
    Projected savings by doing this, that or the other which almost always turns out to be less than expected.

    Why is it that? when democrats make these predictions, we are supposed to believe that they have done their homework and that they are presenting us with “facts”, but when republicans make predictions, we are supposed to understand that it’s nothing more than “fuzzy math”?

    Too bad the rest of us can’t run our homes and businesses using the same methods…? Unfortunately, we have to make sure that money going out does not exceed money coming in.

    So, Sad4CT, why should I put “trust” into what Rep. Ryan is saying and showing w/ all his charts? Let’s say that he is no more credible than the Democrats.

    ?Yeah,Jim,you are drinking the Kool-Aid. Turn off the TV & start reading.

    Wow, Ryan looks like hell here..he must have seen his approval ratings (23%).

    Sad4CT, You answered Sammy perfectly. I thought the same but I would not have been as eloquent.? Representative Ryan is a patriot as steadfast as those in the first Tea Party.? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, he looks like heaven. Crystal you can take Harry Reid.
