Um, nothing of substance for me to share? You mean other than the creation of the thread, and the initial post which outlined the issue at hand?
Cool. I can quote dozens of prominent economists who completely disagree and think his budget plan is, at best, utter nonsense. There is no credible math to support it. It resembles the supply-side economics that Reagan attempted in 1980; the result of that was such a huge increase in the deficit that Reagan had to turn around and implement one of the largest tax increases in American history. It would greatly reduce taxes on the rich while implementing a large tax increase on the poor and middle class. It would leave tens of millions of people without health insurance. It decimates Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It cuts spending on “education, exployment, training, and social services” by 33 percent; cuts spending on transportation (highways, air-traffic control, etc) by 25%; cuts spending on “general science and basic technology” by almost 10%. And even with all of those cuts, there is no credible math to support the fact that it would cut the deficit nearly as much as he claims.

Are you f'ing serious? That movie is a JOKE. It's just a bunch of idiotic assumptions and stupid slander with no basis in reality. Even the Obama-haters i know who have seen it said it's complete garbage.
Oh, Obama's dad, who he met ONE TIME when he was 10 years old, may have written a paper 50 years ago stating that America's foreign policy is too aggressive! Therefore, Obama MUST be trying to take down the US from the inside!!!!
Oh, some dude from Hawaii told me Hawaiians want to rebel against the lower 48 states! It must be true, and it must somehow mean that Obama hates America!!!

The bottom line is that he knows how a business works and how to manage money.
You don't get to be a successful consultant by giving bad advice or by not knowing the difference between what works and what fails.

You cannot run a country like you run a business. Anyone that thinks that is possible is an idiot or a liar. Romney was also not always successful and when he was, certainly is no way to run a country.

That's odd. Why has it grossed over $13 Million at the box office?

Because that is not as impressive as you think it is.
Why isnt anyone actually trying to disprove the OP?

He can't bash the guy for not supporting something he supported, no matter what the reason he personally couldn't go for it. He said it with the implication that this was something he should have done something with, maybe Obama felt the same way that Ryan did based on other parts of it.
Are you incapable of understanding that Ryan is implying he would have done something differently when in fact he would have not.
I don't support Obama, but Ryan is a clown, everyone saw through his speec that didn't matter anyway because he's not running for president. He's just a hype man that doesn't do very well at bashing Obama.

You really think that?
Maybe the only guy you know in congress, but certainly not the smartest guy.

Stepped in it? In what way? Why should I care what that guy has to say.
You really think that Paul Ryan is smarter when it comes to politics, than Congressman Ron Paul? Now Paul Ryan is making a clown out of you as well.
Do you even know what you are talking about half the time? I stepped in it today? What does that mean? Oh wait, you are one of those people that doesn't pay attention and thinks I am a democrat because I call out Romney and Ryan for the complete idiots they are! That's why you think I would give a damn what a democrat has to say. Know Obama is just as much of an idiot as Romney. I am a registered republican.edit on 1-9-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)
