"Paul Ryan: America's Enduring Promise"
From the House Republicans
I agree with Representative Ryan (Chairman of the House Budget Committee) that the national debt and deficit are serious issues that have to be addressed. I just don't know how you erase a trillion-dollar deficit by gutting Food Assistance and Public Housing, which are only about 50 billion-dollars a year annually in total, while not investing in infrastructure, and keeping corporate welfare, borrowing more money, for more tax cuts for wealthy investors, and adding to the defense budget, without paying for any of those investments, gets us to a balanced budget.

And I don't Chairman Ryan knows how you get America back to place where our economy is growing faster than our national debt and we are able to get our Federal budget back to balance, either. Otherwise he would've explained that by now. Which are issues he's been working on in the House last 5 years as Ranking Member and now Chairman of the Budget Committee.
