If you don't want to read the budget document, you can watch it here on this three minute YouTube video. Never has a budget discussion been so riveting.

He should be president. What an excellent presentation!

The image of that graph should make it blatantly obvious to anyone who doesn't grasp how serious the spending/debt problem is. Ryan gives me hope that the GOP finally is getting serious about this.

Re: RYAN: We Have a Choice of Two Futures
Terrific video; great way to convey the numbers without Perot-ing Ryan by putting him in front of an easel and having him flip through charts. Love the simple, compelling presentation and its use of technology!
(Yes, I turned Ross Perot into a verb. "Ryaning" or perhaps "Ryanification" will be used in the future to refer to a political party developing courage and convictions. Trademark - me.)

Ryan is far more Tea Party than he is GOP.
With a few more guys like this, America stands a chance.
Bravo, Mr. Ryan, Bravo!

Could you lend him to us to help give George Osborne a backbone? Thought that's unfair. Desperate as our plight is, I fear that yours is worse just at the moment.
The best performance I've seen from a Republican for a long time.

Re: RYAN: We Have a Choice of Two Futures
I've always been a good Republican, and Ryan gives me hope that the party has returned from its partying to sanity. If they don't give Ryan's plan a chance, and just play politics as usual, our future is bleak.
And isn't it amazing what real sincerity sounds like. This guy runs circles around "the One."

Re: RYAN: We Have a Choice of Two Futures
Thanks for posting this. The visuals are powerful (Ryan in shirtsleeves is as potent as the superimposed graphics), but Ryan's mastery of his message is the most impressive thing about this. Reasoned, temperate, serious. What a role model for his fellow legislators there and around the country. Thanks to his district for returning such a leader, not simply an elected official.
