Paul Ryan just proposed another budget and this one happens to be worse than the previous one referred to as the "Ryan Budget."
love my president...always being the adult.... bigger person than I.... I don't know if I could stomach lyin Ryan within my personal space.
I hope that they "run the numbers" on Paul Ryan's budgets. I was appalled last summer when Ryan was questioned about his Ryan Plan. After admitting that his 'plan' would not balance the annual budget for at least 30 years, he was asked what the national debt would be by that time. His answer, "I don't know. I haven't run the the numbers, yet." He came across as a quack
Now Ryan suddenly has a new tax cutting plan that he claims can balance the annual budget in just ten years!
Tough to eat, sitting across from such arrogance. evil rich men, working hard to cut your throat, and spoil the wealthy, inequity is a bad thing, at this level anyway
Ryan and his budget are one of the reasons the gop lost the election and it was rejected by the majority of American voters,the fact he comes back with the same budget shows the gop learned nothing and has not changed one bit and they have no respect for the voters, keep it up , new gop train wreck in 2014 mid terms !!!!
Don't serve turkey; they'll fight over the drum stick.
He's pushed himself into a corner with his narcissism and he has to talk to them now because he's not getting his way – he is also hearing the public disgust with his policies and attitude. Could have been meeting with Ryan before the sequester and the fiscal cliff instead of golfing in Florida and vacationing in Hawaii. This means nothing.
It is importanct that the President sit down with Senators and Representatives to talk over policies informally. I am a Democrat, however, the the United Satates of America comes before any Political Parties. I am retired Army, and I wans't mobilized based on Political Parties. I didn't joined the base on Political Parties. I joined the Army because I love this Country and I wanted to give something back.
I wouldn't invite that sneaky, little weasel anywhere!
Pres.Obamas giving republicans not only their last meal but their last rites as well..At least he's humane giving republicans some dignity before they go on their long trips home to unemployement and no more ties to Washington thank God!!Republican posters here say your goodbyes cause after midterms your obstructionistic reps in Washington will only be an unpatriotic memory and you know it,pleasant isn't it democrates,independents!!
