When reached for comment, Thad Cochran was busy buying a map for a campaign visit to Mississippi, and said, "The state has changed so much since I was last there. I simply don't recognize it."

Paul Ryan was quoted as saying, "My 10 year plan balances the budget by 2040."

“Paul Ryan was quoted as saying, “My 10 year plan balances the budget by 2040.”

You are trying to make Ryan look stupid which he is not.

If you implement his 10 year plan of graduated changes and make no more changes after 10 years, then by 2040, the budget balances.

If you put 1000 dollar a year into an IRA invest at 8 percent return, then after 10 years you have about 15000 in your IRA after ten years (ten year plan) and then you let it grow with interest only for 20 more years (2044) you will have 60,000 dollars.

The Ryan plan is that after 10 years of gradual reform, growth in the economy will balance the budget by 2040.
