Conservative Budget Proposal : Paul Ryan Steps Up

If one tries to come up with an explanation for how the Obama administration works, they will find it nearly impossible. Mr. Obama and his people defy all reason and common sense. It seems they are motivated by ideology alone.

Never in our history have so few done so much damage to our country is so little time.

As he prepares to release his FY 2013 budget plan, which is scheduled to be unveiled next week, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) posted a video teaser of his plan. “What if your president, your senator, and your congressman knew a crisis was coming?” It would be immoral not to do anything, says Mr. Ryan.

Yet “this coming debt crisis is the most predictable crisis we’ve ever had in this country.” Behind the scenes, Mr. Ryan is clearly focused on entitlement reform. He is also factoring in the $1. 2 trillion in budget cuts that were mandated by last year’s failure of the so-called Super Committee.

Mr. Ryan is trying to avoid additional defense cuts, even though the mandate calls for half of the cuts to come from defense. Meanwhile, for the third year in a row, the Senate isn’t planning to offer a budget.
