Why we are so hosed

Paul Ryan's latest budget plan is his best yet.  He shortens the time frame for balance from 30 years to 10.  He gets even bolder regarding re-defining our big entitlement programs.  And he guts FHer-care. Beautiful and glorious.

It is, as versions 1.0 and 2.0 were, the only attempt in Washington at an actual solution to our existential  threats of overwhelming debt and government intrusion.

And the fact that it is universally deemed to be DOA in the Senate, and that it goes without saying that it will be demagogued everywhere from the NYT op-ed pages to the walls of your leftist Facebook friends, is the clearest indicator available of how utterly mad our whole nation has become.

  1. How are we supposed to take this seriously when a Jr. Congressman takes it upon himself to ignore a law that has already stood the test of constitutionality?

  2. I thought the nation was going mad when they were boycotting french fries during those heady days of shock & awe a decade ago.

  3. Because Roberts was wrong and it's not constitutional. To say nothing of the fact that it is a suicidal move for this country.

    Boycotting french fries was undoubtedly unserious.

    What is needed is seriousness. Lots of it.
