Paul Ryan's Bold Budget Proposal

For the last couple of years we have heard from Hound that the GOP has no ideas and I have often countered that Paul Ryan's roadmap was a serious proposal. Now Ryan has officially proposed a bold budget that will begin to rein in out of control federal spending. The Demoncrats have already started lying and demogoguing the plan. Here's what we will so predictably hear........starving Grandma, taking away social security, 55 zillion new deaths every year, starving Grandma, 52 million new homeless, mean spirited, extreme, extreme, extreme, starving Grandma.........
Anybody want to wager with me that we will hear all of the above and more (excluding the exaggerated numbers of course)? I will take all bets on this one!
So here is a bit of reality here. Ryan's budget proposes that the federal government spend $39 trillion over the next 10 years versus Mr. Obama's $45 trillion. Now keep in mind, $39 trillion is $39,000 billion dollars. Does anyone really think the federal government can't make it on $39,000 billion of our hard earned dollars over the next ten years?!?!? This is a serious proposal and one that I believe most of the GOP candidates for President will get behind. It will show that Demoncrats are not serious about the federal deficit.
Another interesting political factoid is the framework of the argument about why the Messiah doesn't deserve another term will center around the deficit and not the jobs numbers. While I still believe real unemployment will be over 10% in November 2012 the government media aided by the lying administration are going to paint a much rosier picture than actually exists (i.e., the exact opposite of what they do when a Republican is President) in sycophantic obedience to Dear Leader. By not relying on this one issue (although it will still be a factor) they will be able to point to something that will not be better in November 2012 but will actually be much worse.
Another factoid about the alleged negative consequences of a government shutdown. The very next cycle after the shutdown saw the GOP return to control of the House for the first time in over sixty years and resulted in a net loss of 2 seats! They have proposed a CR that will fund defense for the next year and will then be free to shut down discretionary spending if Dems refuse to pass a budget that includes some real cuts and eliminates wasteful spending programs like the CPB and Planned Parenthood.
