Paul Ryan is one of the rising stars. :thumb:
My only real beef with him is that he supports Value Added Taxes. :ohno:

Oh, and he does give speeches at Tea Party rallies, sorry about that.

I know he does. I know him and his family. He's genuinely a good person, unlike some of the tea party fucks.

The deeper into the article you get, the more the economical magic fairy dust of this paragraph comes into focus:
A NATIVE OF JANESVILLE, Wisconsin, Paul Ryan developed his political philosophy reading the works of free market authors including Milton Friedman, F. A. Hayek, and Ayn Rand. After graduating with a degree in economics and political science from Miami University in Ohio, Ryan worked as a speechwriter for Jack Kemp and William Bennett at the think tank Empower America (a predecessor to FreedomWorks) and served as a legislative aide to Sen. Sam Brownback.
Their philosophy has had it's chance, it's time for a coaching change. :coffee:

Anybody who can finish a book by Ayn Rand is a tenacious mofo. She is without doubt the most boring author that ever laid pen to paper.

I've only read the Fountainhead, but I thought it was a good read. Utopic, unrealistic, fantasy... but a good read. :thumb:

Well, I haven't made the attempt....but after trying to read Atlas Shrugged, I truly understood the meaning of the phrase "bored to tears".

Thanks for the offer my good man, but no need. If I want to remind myself of the failures of supply side/objectivist/ Friedmanonics I have many of your posts I can already reference. Or I can just refer to modern history.

To paraphrase the brilliant Wallace Shawn in Vegas Vacacation; 'Why don't you say your piece one more time, I'll kick you in the nuts again, and we'll call it a day.' :D

It's kinda hard to kick someone in the nuts when you don't have a leg to stand on. :lol:

And you can quote me on that one. :thumb:

If Ryan is off base, where is the Democrats proposal? Why aren't our Congressman and women working on this?
Taken together, the plan earned an impressive grade from Congress's official scorekeeper. By 2080, according to CBO's "alternative fiscal scenario" that assumes the continuation of current policies, the U.S. would be dedicating a staggering 34.4 percent of its GDP to government spending, running an annual deficit of 42.8 percent, and carrying debt at 716 percent of GDP -- which as discussed above, is a point that we'd never actually reach. By contrast, under the "Roadmap," the CBO estimates that in the same year, government spending would be just 13.8 percent of the GDP, the government would be running a massive surplus of 5 percent, and it wouldn't be holding any debt.
Yet these numbers are conservative estimates, because they don't even take into account how much better off the economy would be under the "Roadmap" as a result of getting our debt under control. According to the CBO, the nation's economic output per person would be 70 percent higher in 2058 under the Ryan plan than it would be if current trends continue. After that year, the CBO's model of current trends actually breaks down "because deficits become so large and unsustainable that the model cannot calculate their effects." But as a result of putting the nation's finances on a sustainable path, the Ryan plan is projected to foster strong economic growth in the ensuing decades. And again, while these dates seem way off into the future, if the nation were put on the right course, it would provide a lot of reassurance to credit markets, and keep our borrowing costs lower in the near term.
