@ Gerry Ryan had the "ambition and "stomach" to propose for a vote his budget. Why has the SENATE not had the "stomach" to even propose a budget in 3 years? The Democrats and Pres. Obama point fingers of blame towards others but they don't have any solutions. GET REAL....
What we really need is a REPUBLICAN-CUTTING plan. There are way too many of them and most are knuckle-heads with no connection to reality.
Are you always that specific in your comments. Such detail! Wow!
Where does Obama get the money to send to Tunisia? Doesn't Congress have to appropriate the money Obama sends to Tunisia? The US gives Israel 2 or 3 billion in foreign aid and gets a hundred of billion worth of problems in return. Now that's a bargain!
What about all the money he's giving to the muslim brotherhood?
"cuts to food stamps, transportation and "unspecified" tax breaks." Thank god!
There must be some super rich people who make comments here since no one seems disturbed that the Republican controlled House has voted to reduce the max tax rate AGAIN (the Bush administration did the 1st give away) from 35% to 25%. They are going to pay for this with cuts to food stamps, transportation and "unspecified" tax breaks. People who have been out of work or under-employed are getting food stamps and the countries roads and bridges are in need of repair. The only reason to reduce taxed more on the wealthy is if you buy into Reagan's Trickle-down economics model. Seems to me that it's been pretty dry the last decade or so in this country, economically speaking.
You're an idiot. The only way to actually cut the deficit is to cut programs. You're talking about saving maybe a few million when what we need to cut is several hundred billion. If you can't make a real contribution, you just wasting space.
The democrats are intimidated by the Ryan budget.
In hard times we choose Republicans to be fiscally responsible and build up our money. In good times we choose Democrats to to spend down the money because we kinda like all that feel good spending. Truth is the typical citizen is a combination of both left and right political parties. If this ever changes the USA will be dead...throw dirt on us if that ever happens.
WCTV where is my comment about the breaking new that obama is giving 100 million dollars to an arab country Tunisia?? I probably spelled that wrong because I have never friggin heard of it. Why don't you report that? Americans can't fill their gas tanks or pay their house payment but by God Obama sends 100 mil to an Arab country that wants all Ammericans dead. Great job WCTV,,,,,,,,not bet this want get printed either
When is congress going to learn, you can't spend more than you make, I don't care what party you belong to, its basic math, not politics. I understand why people don't want their taxes raised because congress has shown no real example of controlling and cutting spending. It congress cut the budget to $2 trillion without raising taxes, then raised the taxes across the board, I think the American people would be able to handle that. For those who say tax the corporations & businesses, who do you really think ends up paying those tax increases, I'll give you a hint, its not the businesses, they pass it onto the consumer as a cost of doing business! Wake up America, you can't get something for nothing. As soon as the majority realizes that, only then can we fix the freaking huge hole we are in!
This is political theatre. You can say anything you like if you don't actually have to govern, if your proposals have no chance of becoming law. Ryan was born 1/29/70, so he is 42. There is an open Senate seat in Wisconsin this year as Herb Kohl is retiring. Ryan is not running. He evidently lacks the ambition, stomach, or popularity to win statewide. Somebody who doubts he can win a statewide race is going to be an asset to a national ticket? I don't think so. Ryan is basically a niche candidate. He and his budget are not to be taken seriously.
When is the Congress going to attack the ILLEGAL ALIENS coming into our country. They are what is bankrupting us. There are jihadists, mexicans, hondurans, south americans, you name it we've got it. They are bringing diseases, crime, and breaking our Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid. Why won't they say: IF YOU DON'T PAY IN, YOU DON'T GET IT OUT. That's what they need to do. AND STOP GIVING THEM VOUCHERS (before they do - because that's what they are fixin to do)
i have an idea. ask every senator and representative to take a 10% pay cut and buy their own lunch and spend their own money to get to and from D.C.
