Ryan Budget Based on Common Sense & Reality

Any time great things happen it's because someone has shown courage in the face of opposition or ignorance.

When catastrophe is about to come our way and we knowingly turn a blind eye to it, then we deserve to be diminished in physical terms as well as moral.

To ignore this Ryan proposal strictly along partisan lines is to prove we have no grip on reality but act strictly on self interest. Have we learned nothing from past disasters where politics has overcome common sense?

(National Center for Political Analysis)
FY 2013 budget. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) introduced a fiscal year 2013 budget this week. It is similar to the budget he proposed last year.

The FY 2013 Ryan budget overhauls the tax code, repeals Obamacare, and reforms the Medicare and Medicaid entitlement programs.

In response, the White House said Ryan and his supporters are “ignorant” and have “severely diminished capacity.”

Democrats in general lamented the “end of Medicare as we know it.”

The House Budget Committee passed the Ryan budget on Wednesday and the full House of Representatives is expected to consider it next week. For their part, the Senate isn’t even expected to offer a budget.
