Let's Hear It for RYAN!

Representative Ryan gets it.  The easiest way to understand whether Ryan is right or wrong is to look at who opposes what he's tryin' to do, and how hard.  We're talkin' about the usual suspects here... Pelosi and Van Hollen (the Dems' simpering mouthpiece, of late), just to name two.  Both Pelosi and Van Hollen have come out with their same tired ol' moans and groans about budget reform and deficit reduction in the last week... words to the effect the mean ol' GOP is after the children and our Seniors.   And fucking Democrats have the unmitigated GALL to rant about "special interests."

The current sideshow about shutting down the gub'mint over whether we should legislate either a paltry 30 billion dollars or a slightly less paltry 60 billion dollars worth of current expenditure reductions is just a warm up for the REAL fight that's gonna go down during the run-up to 2012.  We all need to fasten our seat belts and get ready for some serious political histrionics from the donkeys, coz it's gonna get real rough out there.  One hopes the serious adults... like Rep. Ryan... will be able to make their case to the American public and prevail in the budget war, but one should also NEVER underestimate the power of demagoguery.  The Dems excel at the latter and it works all too often.

Interesting times.
