Paul Ryan has a budget that would reduce the deficit. Ryan's proposal assumes that President Obama's health care law will not be in the budget, but that being said it reduces spending by $6.2 trillion over the next decade.
With the threat of the government shutting down on Friday, will the administration listen to Ryan's plan? Ryan's budget proposal calls for a cut in spending of $1.4 trillion. According to The Huffington Post, "The Wisconsin Republican's budget spends less on nearly every major category of the budget. Over the next decade, Ryan (R-Wis.) wants to cut $389 billion from Medicare, the public health insurance program for seniors. Over the same period, Ryan's budget puts $735 billion less toward Medicaid, which benefits Americans too poor to afford private insurance."
Paul Ryan's budget proposal basically calls for reduction in spending over the next ten years. It decreases spending while maintaining military and social security. At a time when Americans on Main Street are asked to cut back, it only makes sense that the government is asked to do the same. Ryan's budget is getting a lot of attention, and it may save the government from another shutdown.

The most interesting aspect of the plan is that it cuts $40 trillion over the next decade while Obama's budget increases revenues to $34.8 billion. Paul Ryan's budget sounds too good to be true, but the truth is it is just basic economics. The government and this administration cannot continue to have free run with America's money.

The richest 1 percent of Americans now take home almost 24 percent of income, up from almost 9 percent in 1976.
Clark, they aren't paying their fair share.
I thank them for taking the risk and investing in the idea that gives me a job.
You keep demonizing the rich job producers, what do you expect to gain? Socialists and Communists tend to do such things to achieve some sort of Marxist utopia. I am not saying that you are a Socialist, but be careful of what flag you carry and who is willing to let you lead with that idea into battle.
Ryan uses this same flawed data to prop up his budget plan. This is more trickle down lies.
But as an independent you must agree that the biggest risk to America is nothing other than our own spending. If we do not get our debt under control, the dollar will collapse and that will be for more destructive than what Islam has in store for us in the next year or two.

Fix the dollar and while we do that we can plot a strategy for dealing with Islam and helping our allies.
