I agree with you, Deacon. Anyone that will tackle the nation's mounting debt will win. Paul Ryan is super in this area.
The fundamental difference in the Healthcare reform bill is that the Democrats did not set out to balance the budget. They want to get everyone covered and control costs.
Ryan doesn't aim for universal coverage, he aims to control costs and ends up cutting the deficit by future projection, which some say is not the same as balancing the budget as the CBO doesn't do projections over a 10-year span. I think Ryan is projecting to put us in a surplus by 2060 and out of federal debt by 2080.
More involved than I will go into. I know that some of the Republicans were not on board with it.
Anyway, this is my most favorite YouTube clip of Paul Ryan "schooling" Obamanation! I simply love it!!!
I like his approach, how he lays things out, how he cuts to the chase. He's impressive, IMO.
