Published on Mar 15, 2012

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin previews next week's FY2013 budget proposal.

You know, I was here -- in Congress -- in 2008 when we had the economic crisis. It was a terrible time. Millions of people lost their jobs. Trillions of dollars of wealth: gone.

That crisis caught us by surprise.

Let me ask you a question: what if your President, your Senator and your Congressman knew it was coming? What if they knew when it was going to happen, why it was going to happen and more importantly, what if they knew what they needed to do to stop it from happening and they had the time to stop it? But they chose to do nothing about it, because it wasn't good politics?

What would you think of that person? It would be immoral.

This coming debt crisis is the most predictable crisis we've ever had in this country. And look what's happening.

This is why we're acting. This is why we're leading. This is why we're proposing - and passing out of the House - a budget to fix this problem: so we can save our country for ourselves and our children's future.

    Cinematography is awful. The focus is too soft, the subject goes out of focus often, and the camera is shaky and distracting. The color palette could have been chosen better; the entire image is a muddy and boring brownish-beige. I guess it's fitting, though, seeing as how Paul Ryan's budget is even worse than the quality of this video.

    You can look it up if you'd like. Just copy and paste the following quoted text into Google: "Empowering States to Innovate Act". The first link from whitehouse.gov is a blog by Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who explains it all in plain English.

    Enlighten me. Which of Obama's policies are not congruent with our founding principles, documents, and processes?

    Section 1021-1022 of the NDAA 2012 about indefinite detention? Paul Ryan not only voted for it, but he's defending the NDAA on his website.

    And, regarding the healthcare mandate, your "crafty" SCOTUS theory notwithstanding, Obama has already announced his support of the "Empowering States to Innovate Act" which would go into effect the same year the mandate does - 2014.(continued)

    If you look at extreme right wing, yes. But PR is not far right wing. He's common sense libertarian economist with a conservative social value. I find Obama's policies not congruent with our founding principles, documents, nor processes - and yes, I understand and have read a vast majority of his policies and arguments. For example, healthcare mandate was only upheld through some crafty SC opinion writing by JR. Probably will be rescinded in 2014 when the act cannot withstand anti-injunction

    jTNTBROSj wasn't necessarily saying that conservatism is a bad thing. He was speaking in terms of the political spectrum. The truth is, both extremes (far-left and far-right) would be bad for any society if given free reign. Most of the people who oppose Obama either refuse to give him credit for (or are too ignorant to understand) his policies, which have been a mix of liberal and conservative ideas. For example, the healthcare mandate was first conceived by the Heritage Foundation.

    What does the term right wing mean to you? Spending less than or equal to what our revenue is? Not promising more than you can give? Freedom of opportunity and from restriction on your business? Subscribing to our country's founding principles as enumerated and enlisted in our founding documents?

    Well our incumbent can't even explain the problem. I'll take that any day.

    Furthermore, I would rather someone get out of my business, stop spending my money, and turn their back on me and leave me in peace to achieve on my own win or fail.

    People definitely would vote Obama if the economy was turned around and fixed, but it isn't. Unemployment now is higher than it was when he was inaugurated. In fact, half a million jobs have been lost under him during his administration.

    And to pretend fixing a problem like this can't be done in one term as you'll probably rebuttal with is a lie. President Harding faced 11% unemployment in the 1910's. He cut taxes, lowered spending, unemployment went to 2.7% over two years.
