Ain’t gonna happen. Maybe in 3 years...
What’s this about “block grants to the states”?
Where does the central government get the money? From overtaxing the citizens OF THE STATES!
Why should money go to Washington in the first place, to be returned as “block grants to the states”?
BTW: Ryan is a sell-out. Who cares what he has to say about anything anymore?
I see no mention of getting rid of redundant government programs, government workers and government facilities. Or are we to continue paying government workers to surf the internet and watch TV?
It's like building a big boat...sure, their may be a few engineering problems along the way...but you fix the small stuff when you come to it...
One thing is for SURE...man, we need a new boat...if we don't fix the welfare system it our country damn quick...we're ALL going down..!
eggzackly-—where does this plan cut actual spending?
I don't think he's ever sold out his sponsor, the Chamber of Commerce. He was faking it pretending to be somewhat conservative when campaigning for VP.
Everything in Ryan's plan is about revamping programs instead of real action.
How about turning northern Mexico into a 10-mile wide DMZ run by US military? Now that would be a dramatic call to action! How about bringing troops in NATO countries home to defend our borders? How about demanding EVerify be the law of the land? Sending home invaders?
I seriously cannot imagine Ryan suggesting things like this that could actually be done NOW. He's the RINO collaberator with the dems who sabotaged HOR conservatives in the budget control battle.
How so is Ryan a sell out — inform me, please?
Google.
No cheers for Ryan’s plan. DEFUND/DISMANTLE this socialist leviathan.
BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

Three cheers for the posters on this thread.
Is this your only answer you have? If it is, it is lame
Earned Income Tax Credit...Ryan would greatly expand the amount of money adults without children can claim.
And cut what? Yes, the EITC gives money directly to individuals and skips layers of bureaucracy, but where are the cuts. Democrats want to play mommy and Ryan wants to play daddy.
K-12 education. Head Start (a political sacred cow that appears to be ineffective) and other programs would be replaced with block grants to the states.
How about this, get the FReepin' federal government out of education altogether. Are the states governments too stupid to handle their own education needs without big daddy government? Once again, Democrats want stupid, big government and the GOPe wants smart, big government.
Higher education....
Ditto above.
Regulations. and Review of current policies.
What a steaming pile of dog crap, both of these are! This is just another round of "reduce waste fraud and abuse" that I have heard from both parties for decades.
It sounds great, but for every reduction of a regulation or policy, they will add five more. Just more election-year oral diarrhea! And why don't they have a plan already in place? And what are the real cuts in Fedzilla?
Well...we're going to get an "idea" alright, you can count on that...! But I would much prefer that it be a idea from the "right" then otherwise... Much like you, I have seen enough from the "left" to last a lifetime...
Or...we can all kick back and ignore that big hole in the bottom of the boat and let it go on down...
Maybe we could reboot our constitution after the race wars... I'm not totally opposed to that but, we would loose lots of the things that we hold dear...
“......Or are we to continue paying government workers to surf the internet and watch TV?”
THAT’s a problem, but having those Leftist created departments falsely expanding the Executive Branch to the detriment of the Constitutional purpose of the Legislative branch being stuffed to the point of bursting with entrenched Liberal sycophants making rules to favor Liberal perspective, to enforce Liberal perspective is their actual purpose.
All of those Departments under the Executive Branch control are just more Democrat sleight-of-hand increasing their power, expanding their control.
IIRC The Left is the minority, and virtually everything they do is to bring to their minority more power in our government from cheating in the electoral processes as in double voting, to rousing and registering the dead their focus is self aggrandizement.
The turd probably buried amnesty in there somewhere. He’s got take care of his CoC handlers.
Wow. I just realized how that sounded.
