Paul Ryan at the Heritage Foundation: "Saving the American Idea."

Here's 52 whole minutes if you've got the time for a full serving of Paul Ryanosity:

garage - flame away. No doubt you have a plan on how to defeat Ryan in 2012.

Michael Haz म्हणाले...

Ryan is a remarkable guy. Smart, well-read, focused, clear.

[Name of candidate] / Ryan 2012.

Ryan / [Name of candidate] 2020.

MayBee म्हणाले...

Barack Obama got praise for being smart because he gave excellent speeches.

Paul Ryan is smart for real.

Rich 1%, Republican Rape Supporter, Obstructionist…Pass this Bill, NOW! Pushing Granny off the cliff! Tax the Rich!

coketown म्हणाले...

I can either spend the next hour at my desk listening to the dreamy Paul Ryan, or listening to that pussy Rich Lowry as he pulls up his skirt in fright while talking to that insufferable nutcracker Michelle Goldberg on bloggingheads.

Decisions, decisions.

Michael Haz म्हणाले...

BTW, the Ryan speech runs about 25 minutes. The rest is Q & A.

Time spent watching this is time well-spent.

[Name of candidate] / Ryan 2012.

That's a complete waste of talent.

Don’t get me wrong Althouse denizens, I like Ryan, or rather respect him-not knowing him- and agree with much of what he says, BUT, he voted for:
1) TARP
2) The Auto Bail-out.
All this “love” for Ryan as POTUS candidate needs to be tempered that WHEN IN POWER, or when his constituents were in need of Federal largesse, Ryan was NOT so “Conservative.”

अनामित म्हणाले...

I was waiting with bated breath for one of you to announce Paul Ryan as your latest dream candidate. The Tea Grannies will never vote for him, didn't you see their signs "Keep your Government hands off my Medicare!" My attorney daughter did see him in person at a function and said he was actually quite handsome, she said Walker has a misshapen head though.

ndspinelli म्हणाले...

Ryan was on Imus this week for the first time. He held his own.

Joe म्हणाले...

Well Mito as:
1) The Ryan Plan DOESN’T affect anyone over 55; and
2) Poll data suggests even SENIORS understand Entitlement Reform is necessary
I believe your “snark” may be early, off-target, and wrong….

Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...

I've yet to meet any stripe of conservative who does not like Ryan.

People like competence.

garage mahal म्हणाले...

No doubt you have a plan on how to defeat Ryan in 2012.

Ryan is the 3rd disliked member of Congress, in a Congress that has a 9% approval rating. But, the bill to keep people from voting, the gerrymandering bill, and shitpiles of Koch money will probably protect him.

Jeff in Oklahoma म्हणाले...

Ryan has a plan to get rid of the deficit. He can articulate the budgetary morass.

I've not seen nor heard of anyone else put forth a specific plan.

He has managed to change the narrative in DC.

Impressive.

Scott M म्हणाले...

Ryanoplasty?

edutcher म्हणाले...

Ryan isn't perfect, as Joe notes, but at least he wants to do something. I prefer Rand Paul's ideas for the near term, but, as a plan for the long game, Ryan is a good start.

Most of the ruling class think they can preserve the status quo when it's already gone forever.

He's also undoubtedly the most known member of congress behind maybe Pelosi.

I like how you claim how unpopular he is and then claim he'll be reelected. Way to hedge your bets.

Must bother you to have somebody that actually can think more than 10 minutes into the future pull you out of the liberal fantasy world you've constructed for yourself.

Entitlements are unsustainable and if they're no reform they will run out of funds.

The correct spelling is actually bated breath but it’s so common these days to see it written as baited breath that there’s every chance that it will soon become the usual form


Well Mito good wrok on the English usage…for someone who represents the “good, the tolerant and diverse” you need to work on your anger and self-righteousness…actually you don’t…I’ve found the Left to be EVERYTHING they accuse their opponents of being, narrow-minded, intolerant, self-righteous, and bigoted…but at least PRETEND you’re nicer. Being the (putative)Ancestor of someone serving Our Great Nation, doesn’t actually give you UNIMPEACHABLE MORAL AUTHORITY, though I’m sure you think it does.

By “@$$” you mean I disagree with you and usually have reasons and evidence….Please continue on….explain my “@$$-ness” if you would? I’m not sure how you arrived at your conclusions, be complete, show all your work. All I can see is that I am not an Occupy(City) Supporter and not a Progressive/Leftist and argue against your position…Heck, Mito that would make YOU an @rse, from my perspective, yet you don’t see me trotting that out, do you? Or does being the (Putative)Ancestor of someone serving Our Great Nation mean that to dispute with you is to be, by definition, an “@$$?”

अनामित म्हणाले...

SPImmortal, no not all mad why, should I be? I'm having fun actually.

The Elder म्हणाले...

Perhaps instead of calling it "Paul Ryanosity," you should call it "Paul Ryanonesty."

That sure is the way his message sounds to me.

garage mahal म्हणाले...

If you're the smartest guy in the room and Ryan walks in, you're now the second smartest.

This idiot doesn't even write any legislation. The Heritage Foundation does it for him. Whatever comes out of Ryan's mouth is exactly what the rich elite $350 bottle of wine sippers already put in there for him. Which of course includes plenty of lies.

It is also worth noting that Bloomberg News this week reported that “Obama’s White House has approved fewer regulations than his predecessor George W. Bush at this same point in their tenures, and the estimated costs of those rules haven’t reached the annual peak set in fiscal 1992 under Bush’s father.”

अनामित म्हणाले...

What hypocrites, you Conservatives congratulate yourselves on being "nice"? So do any of you nice people still think the young Marine veteran that was shot in the face at the Oakland protest is a fake? Do you treat any liberal that has the balls to come here and spar with you good folks "nicely? Keep waving that hypocrite sign.

I don't expect to be treated with kid gloves here on Althouse's blog, but when some of you engage me in bare knuckle fighting, I'm on. LOVE pointing out to you what hypocrites you are. It's my new mission.

*WOW* that was well-reasoned and informative…he’s a liar and he doesn’t write his own legislation, say tell me if that is “ding” what does tha make Obama, he doesn’t WRITE his own either, in fact farming it out to Pelosi and Reid?

And the $350 bottle of wine, can I talk about Obama and his Wagyu Beef or Michelle’s $42,000 “Bling” too?

Still desperate Garage, you’re sounding more and more like White Southern Segregationists in circa 1966….

No but it does seem likely that he was “Administratively separated” for drug use (possibly) and ran an anti-Marine Website….

“Bare knuckles” really why because we don’t AUTOMATICALLY grant you Moral Authority because an offspring of yours is overseas? Have you been called a “WiccanSatanist”, had someone tell you to “F^ck your mother?” When you get treated like “J” treats his opponents, you can cry….basically you don’t like the fact that you get reasoned opposition, here….

And I see, “hypocrisy” is a sin is it? How about OWS refusing to feed the Homeless and “Professional Freeloaders?” Isn’t that a bit rich AND a bit hypocritical? They are freeloading, but don’t want to feed OTHER freeloaders? The Rich 1% aren’t pulling their fair share of the load, but don’t impinge on THEIR Spaghetti Bolognese and Organic Chicken, and Beet and Goat Cheese Salad…and that ignores Michael Moore planning a documentary (quite rich a multi-millionaire, profiting from Occupy(City) or Russell Simmons (`$340Million net worth being hailed by OWS).

Me, I’d try to argue my case, and wouldn’t exactly try to claim hypocrisy from my opponents, were I you.

Really because you’re argument seemed to consist of:
1) $350 bottle of wine; and
2) Heritage Foundation wrote the bill.
You and Mito seemed to get be all obsessed about minutiae and hypocrisy. So we just throw yours back at you. IF, you want to discuss the Ryan Roadmap or Cut, Cap and Balance, please feel free. But as long as you and Mito sputter “Hypocrites! ALEC Heritage Foundation 4350 Bottle of Wine” I don’t feel the need to expand the range of argument….when you get tired of having your face(s) shoved into the dog-squeeeze of Progressive Hypocrisy and silliness, and move onto substantive issues and arguments, I’ll be glad to.

UPDATE! 8/4/09 The Apollo Alliance has now ADMITTED that they wrote the Stimulus Bill AND the Cap and Trade Bill. It will only be a matter of time before America learns THEY wrote the Healthcare Bill too!
from:
Apollo Weekly Update, 2/20/09: Clean Energy Breakthrough in Stimulus, Next Steps
By: Keith Schneider
From: Apollo News Service
Date: 2/20/2009
While the clean energy focus of the stimulus was inspired by the Apollo’s vision, the specific content of many of the bill’s provisions was influenced by policy proposals that the Apollo Alliance made last year in The New Apollo Program and the Apollo Economic Recovery Act. “The recovery bill represents the focused work of labor, business, environmental and social justice organizations who developed a clear strategy about where the nation needed to go, and worked together to achieve it,” said Phil Angelides, former California treasurer and chairman of the Apollo Alliance.

You seem to paint all the Tea Party types with the same brush, inspired by the one sign "keep your government hands off my medicare." I assume you are comfortable having us do the same with some of the more uh, colorful folks at OWS?

Crypto Jew - "I like Ryan, or rather respect him-not knowing him- and agree with much of what he says, BUT, he voted for:
1) TARP"
=============
Aside from rightwing House members posturing knowing it would pass but wanting to throw red meat to their backers, most people did.
Had the House rightwingers come on board, but demanded that their John Galts and Hero jobs creators on Wall Street take a haircut as the price for their support, and an investigation of Fannie, Freddie - they could have got that included in TARP as a compromise.

*************
Mitichondrial something - "So do any of you nice people still think the young Marine veteran that was shot in the face at the Oakland protest is a fake?"

Apparantly he was separated from the Service for drug use and was busily engaged in a crowd throwing rocks and bottles at cops who are in large part honorably discharged Veterans from the Marines and other branches. Many who still serve in the Reserve.
Whereupon said druggie ex-Marine was hit on the noggin by a tear gas cartridge, with the odds that it was fired by a fellow veteran.

So much for that OWS goons "absolute moral authority".

Another conservative who touts himself as the "savior" of America.

Ryan is another who will not run and is merely positioning himself for another time...once President Obama has straightened out the mess left behind by George.

None of the GOP talking heads have any answers...only complaints and criticism.

The Party of NO...reliant upon America's failure.

Ryan's plan to gut Medicare/caid does in effect tosss Granny off the bridge (and all non-wealthy elderly citizens). Of course the right-wing Heritage-sleaze types love Ryan--cut all entitlement programs, and more or less toss the poor and elderly in the street. Aynonomics

In plain language, your head must be completely empty. You are commenting on a post where Paul Ryan, the brightest light in the conservative sky, goes on for 52 minutes expounding affirmative ideas for repairing the mess that big government his put us in, yet you call us the party of NO? You're an idiot, and blind in the bargain. You're entitled to disagree with Ryan, but to claim he has nothing to say is just stupid.

Why won't they join Ryan and help overhaul the system so it survives?

Ryan's plan does not make Medicare survive, it replaces Medicare with a voucher program. In other words it eliminates Medicare and replaces it with something entirely different (that will be funded at a lower level and will cause massive gaps between the value of the vouchers and the cost of insurance). Just because Ryan still wants to call his new plan "Medicare" doesn't make it Medicare.

Ryan has read (and believes) too much Ayn Rand. Such morally and socially stunted people should not be allowed to make decisions in the government.

I doubt that Ryan is a Rand devotee and charges that he "read to much" Rand seems to be the first thing said of anyone who says anything that supports anything that sounds a little bit like capitalism. Claiming that anyone who says anything that sounds a little bit capitalistic is morally and socially stunted is idiotic.

How about those of you who dislike him so?

Can you do something other than change the subject or call him stupid or try some other way to keep anyone from focusing on what he says about the issues? Claiming he's got no ideas isn't a valid excuse for not being able to discuss his opinions about those taxes.

The real question is this: Why is the GOP intent on eliminating two of the most successful programs in our nation's history?

Medicare annually pays out over 10% of its expenditures in outright fraud.

Social Security is being used to fund able-bodied people who want to dress up as babies.

A private insurance company would be out of business with either of those things happening. Private companies can't afford to fund criminals and lazy people.

But government can -- which is why criminals and lazy people like Love and Mito are so desperate to preserve it. That's also why Love and Mito blabber that losing billions to fraud each year is "successful" -- because they're collecting it.

Ryan's plan does not make Medicare survive, it replaces Medicare with a voucher program. In other words it eliminates Medicare and replaces it with something entirely different (that will be funded at a lower level and will cause massive gaps between the value of the vouchers and the cost of insurance).

Well, as I already pointed out, Medicare already wastes over 10% of its expenditures.

Furthermore, the Barack Obama Party apparently supports and endorses killing poor and elderly people, by your logic.

So why don't you explain that, "Fred"? You and yours insist that any cuts to government benefits are the result of being "morally and socially stunted". Since you and your Barack Obama just cut massive amounts to health care, which you claim is murdering poor people and the elderly, doesn't that qualify you as such?

The problem here is that we're talking to welfare addicts - Fred, Mito, and Love. These people are pigs who see us threatening their trough. They don't care about the "poor" -- as I just pointed out, they are more than willing to cut off the "poor" so that they keep collecting fat checks.

I will sum up...

How do we fix the tax code?

Get rid of the loop-holes, broaden the base, lower the rates. And permanence. That is the Key.

He then explains that the individual tax rates, the personal tax rates, that are going to go up to an effective rate of 50% apply to most business... 80% of businesses file as individuals... 90% of Wisconsin businesses file as individuals... 60% of Wisconsin manufacturing file as individuals.

Canada is lowering their rate for business to 15%, etc., he names other countries, explains that this makes us uncompetitive.

Certainty, permanence and lower the rates.

What about fairness? Why do some businesses pay so little? They take advantage of loop-holes. Eliminate the loop-holes. Treat everyone the same.

Stop picking winners and losers in Washington. We confuse being pro-business with being pro-incumbent-business. (HEY OWS FOLKS... RYAN IS YOUR GUY.) Being pro-incumbent-business erects barriers to entry into the market. We need to be pro-free-enterprise.


---

This is something that goes with what I've said lately... The big businesses that can operate, sift through the loop holes, and file thousands of pages of tax returns can afford to do that. Smaller and mid-size business can not. Any rules we pass to try to deal with those big mega-corps are most likely to hurt those job creators who can't afford an in-house legal department.

Lower the rate to something fair and then treat everyone the same.

The loop-holes were put there, usually, on purpose, because someone rightly went to congress (usually someone who could afford to do *that* too) and said, "But don't you want us to expand, hire more people, and reinvest?" and the Congress-critters said, "Why, yes. We do." and they wrote a loop-hole. Rinse and Repeat. And the ones who benefit are the mega-corps with their troops of lawyers. Mom and Pop or the limited partnership that employs 20 people get screwed.

What Ryan suggests would fix that problem. OWS ought to like what he's got to say, at least about eliminating loop-holes and barriers to entry into the market and the sort of politics that result in pro-existing-business regulations and inhibit new business.

If anyone bothered to listen before they started poo flinging, they'd probably like what he has to say very much. But then they wouldn't get to do the poo flinging, and that would suck!

Synova म्हणाले...

I wonder how much the growth in the "bottom line" that is so decried lately is due to companies holding on to money instead of expanding, hiring or in some way reinvesting due to insecurity.

When Ryan mentions permanence and certainty and not making little changes all of the time, he doesn't expand on why those things are important.

I think that, besides not having time in a short answer, he expects that the reason is obvious to anyone with a clue.

If the growth in the bottom-line despite the poor economy is actually because of behavior in response to the poor economy, what will it do to create even more insecurity by going after those businesses?

I think it's likely, but I don't know one way or the other if that bottom-line issue is caused by that but I do know that it's very important to *know* if it is or not.

If my guess is right, then proposed "solutions" to stop those nasty rich people from keeping more than they need will make things catastrophically worse.

If someone cares, and if they are not "morally and socially stunted" they most certainly will care, they will want to know the truth of that and make policy objectively instead of emotionally.

"We hated all the right people," might get them excused and maybe even believed that they aren't responsible for prolonging the Bad Times, so maybe that's all they really want. But I'd rather things got better.

I believe you are correct. An expert would have a field day with him, but I had the sad experience of seeing a friend go down that road some years ago. Not paranoia either (in J's mind, they aren't coming to get J, they're coming to get J's 'enemies'). J exhibits several of what I learned were tells for schizophrenia. The most prominent is neologism. Its the creation of his own language to describe what to him seems like an increasingly distorted and unresponsive world.

Taunting him is a very bad idea. It won't drive him off, and it does him a lot more damage than you think. There's nothing anyone here can do for him but hope there's someone in his life that will eventually intervene. The best way to handle him is to ignore him and let him move on.

Even if he does not choose himself to move on, being ignored by the commenters will cause him to become increasingly agitated and he'll focus his attacks on AA, her son, or Meade - anything to force feedback - and ramp it up until it's intolerable. No chance he won't push it to a level that forces his banning. Just a matter of time and free speech won't be a factor at that point.

Ryan might have the functional equivalent of what counts for a brain in Tea Party Land, but I only listened to the first ten minutes of his advertiseme -- I mean, "speech" -- for a couple reasons.

1. It takes forever to download an entire Brightcove clip at peak bandwidth downloading times.

2. It was all recycled boilerplate, no thought. Simply repeating the word "liberty" at predictable intervals does not make something worth listening to. That's a mantra, and not even a polemic. It might as well have been "Om", then he could have at least led a Buddhist chant. I could have interspersed the predictable code words in Paul Ryan's diatribe with an alphabetical listing from the dictionary, and it would have been more interesting.

But that's what you can expect from the Heritage Foundation.

And Ryan should check his facts. America has gotten worse at allowing for upward mobility than every country like us except for the U.K., and even they're not that far behind. Your ideas lack any empiric grounding, so you repeat the precepts like mindless hymns.

But so I understand, is it like this? Rand is fringe and may be ignored, so trying to stick Ryan with Rand-poo means Ryan can be ignored?

I am dead serious about this. This is a sick puppy. I wish he'd go away, but in the meantime I think we'd better just pretend he's not here.

I concluded after a couple of threadfuls of "J"'s "contributions" that he or she is extremely disturbed.

Anyone who publicly maintains that I am you and you are me, on the basis of no evidence whatsoever, is pretty obviously a whackdome.

The problem as I see it is that "J" is not motivated to seek help. Otherwise, he/she would not be spending time here, where the reception, even from proponents of "J"'s supposed political ideology, is uniformly hostile.

J,

Are you Dr. Deborah Frisch?

What with the constant references to a possibly mythical tormentor from somewhere in Arizona; obsessions over Mormons; claims to know about psychology; extremely limited knowledge of economics coupled with blind despisal of most schools of thought on the subject; seething hatred of libertarians and fiscal conservatives; and a broad array of viciously crazed psychosexual invective—you more than slightly resemble that highly disturbed individual.

If you are Deborah Frisch, you aren't supposed to be posting here or anywhere else. You'll be doing yourself as well as the rest of us a favor by quitting.

If you aren't Deborah Frisch, just a whackdome no one else has had the misfortune to hear of—you will also be doing yourself and the rest of us a favor by quitting.

It's a speech that starts out as if the audience's time isn't worth much.

I can't say how it goes on after that.

Why does Paul Ryan think that America is exceptional? Is he implying other nations are not filled with hope, innovation and smart people? Sweden, Japan, South Korea, all superior countries.

Seems to be a little more heat than light in this thread. That tells me something.

Ryan doesn't want to run. I don't care. People always say "Your country needs you" to candidates that they want to see in the race, but these really are desperate times and I think we need to push qualified people like Ryan a little harder.

If he's the VP pick for _______ then suddenly I'm not "settling" anymore.
