Congressman Paul Ryan’s message to America … fiscal responsibility
Congressman Paul Ryan promised a budget that tackles America’s fiscal train wreck. He has delivered. Watch his video. Leadership!
Take a moment t o watch the whole thing.

Here’s a link to his WSJ article. And here’s Ed Morrissey’s take:
Paul Ryan may be Barack Obama’s worst nightmare. On the day after Obama launched his re-election bid with a soft, ambiguous, and oddly passive ad imploring people to come to his rescue, Ryan and his team have released a sharp, focused three-minute video on his plan to rescue America from its looming debt and entitlement crises. Obama and his fellow Democrats have chosen not to lead for short-term political gain. Ryan fills the leadership vacuum in three minutes, explaining the nature of the crisis in easily-understood terms, and the solution to it — cutting spending. If we don’t do that now, the federal government will have to take nearly 50% of the American economy in 40 years to meet its obligations
Courage!

Paul Ryan is the man to lead us out of our fiscal mess.
Look for the Paul Krugman attack and response to be repeatedly aired and printed. The collectivist planners will circle their wagons and their media friends will try to bury the truth and validity of Ryan's logic. America in the 21st century.
Krugman's Nobel came from the same grab bag (bag of tricks?) as Øbama's. He is a tool of the left and is unprofessional enough to let it cloud his thinking.
Ryan could never get elected in the Peoples Republic of Connecticut.
Heck, Malloy is planning to tax him just for coming here!
Oh my, it is about darn time someone acknowledges the elephant in the room! We have to start somewhere and he is the only one who has come up with a plan that will actually begins to tackle what needs done. While I am sure that it won't be 100% of what I think it needs to propose, I will support a plan that will actually stops the astronomical spending and government growth. There will be always time down the road to address remaining issues once triage has been done.
Ryan's Plan: "Necessary But Not Sufficient," according to Geoff at Ace of Spades HQ:

With charty goodness.
"This is what the President and his crackerjack economic team have wrought. A one-year deficit that is so large that it can only be paid back if everything goes exactly right. And if everything goes exactly right, we're still looking at decades before we can get back to the debt level we had only 6 months ago."
Enjoy.
I just listened to a Democrat say that Ryan's bill was theirs last year and they wanted to bring it to an up and down vote but they didn't. The interviewer asked if he would support it and then the moron says no and goes off on it. He says Ryan's using OBM figures and they can't be trusted. WTF are we the stupid ones. Somebody puts on a suit and tie and the airflow to the brain gets choked off.
Yeah, and the budget they are fighting over right now was theirs last year too!!
For those that want to see whats in it before they vote on it. <a title="http://budget.house.gov/UploadedFiles/PathToProsperityFY2012.pdf" href="http://budget.house.gov/UploadedFiles/PathToProsperityFY2012.pdf" rel="nofollow"> <a href="http://;http://budget.house.gov/UploadedFiles/PathToProsperityFY2012.pdf” target=”_blank”>;http://budget.house.gov/UploadedFiles/PathToProsperityFY2012.pdf
Aw, thanks Tom…but I think I'll wait until it's passed to see what's in it! 😉
Mr. Ryan ignored the "us vs them" bickering and quietly went about working on a solution.
Practical and pragmatic.
Is it too early to say that he has my vote.
Paul Ryan is way to practical and has way to much common sense to be taken seriously by the elected officials.
Next thing you know, he will be suggesting that we eliminate lobbyists.
Oh, wouldn't THAT just be a bummer…. eliminating lobbyists…
No lobbyists? Then what will all the "retired" politicians do?
I don't profess to be the most educated person when it comes to politics, but I have my common sense and try to keep up on it as much as I can. And I still can't believe how many people are roaming about this country that could not even tell you anything about a budget or that there is an issue. I hope something gets done soon, or this country is not going to be a nice place to live anymore.
What is there to argue? The facts are indisputable and the spending must stop because I refuse to give 50% to the federal government.
Thank God for the likes of Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor
Hey, it's all about "shared sacrifice"…if I have to slash and cut spending in my family then the gov't should be slashing and cutting their spending also.
They don't think taxes apply to them, so why should sacrifice?
Go Chairman Ryan! Give us more!!
Ryan has been my man from the beginning.? But, I’m begging you, as wonderful as he is, NOT for President! We need his brain, ethics, morals, and commonsense right where he is Chairmen of Budget (sorry I forget the euphemistic bureaucratize for what they call his committee). He is steadfast and strong and we all desperately need him there. There is time to reward him, when we get this train wreck of an administration back to Community Organizing! Go Paul Ryan the Sexiest American!
Lynn…Chairman Ryan will run for Senate in 2012—I'd prefer it be president!
The Dems had since 2007 to come up with a budget that didn’t make China a part owner in the country.? They didn’t: in fact, they demonstrably made the situation worse.?? Be it out of ignorance, political expediency or purest socialism, they took a (now) relatively small deficit and ballooned it out of all proportion.
?
Term limits: doing the political purging Americans don’t want to do.
Ok, Brian H the Senate is fine. He can still create and enforce the will to hold that line. But, as President he will have to spend too much time on foreign policy. We now have 3 Wars going even if the WH doesn't admit it.
And, now, the demagoguery begins!
