Paul Ryan: Hiding spending doesn't reduce spending.

[richis2fast4u]

@Theliberty411 And, I'm not saying Clinton was the reason the economy boomed, I'm saying hes the reason we were on the path to eliminating the national debt.

[richis2fast4u]

@Theliberty411 Cut the taxes to 0% than, that should boost revenues.

[castillopsca]

The Wealthy are in power and making the rules....why is this so hard to understand? For most of the rich people...enough is never enough. I love the line in the movie "Entrapment". What can you do with $3 Billion that you can't do with $1 Billion? To the rich they would tell you "plenty". At some point it really is not about money but about status and power.....Greed is our biggest enemy and mandates that the "rich get richer and the poor get poorer". What's the solution?

[richis2fast4u]

Eliminate the Bush tax cuts and you will be on the path to eliminating national debt. Clinton raised taxes and the economy boomed throughout the 90s, Bush cut taxes and the economy was stagnent for the 2000s, that indicates that tax rates cannot levy consumer spending THAT much. Warren Buffett pays 17% of his income to taxes, I pay over 35% and thats all thanks to the Bush tax cuts. Don't believe me? go to the top of the page and search, 'Warren Buffetts taxes' and hear it from his own mouth.

Rep. Paul "Revere" Ryan

[TheYoungTurdz]

This guy is the man!!! He may be "the one" we need in 2012.

[yasukoSimmonsrhzb]

Thank you for the help man! It's easy as the money making technique explained pretty well at ez-casino(dot)com...

[jscottupton]

None of Paul Ryan's logic matters because Obama has been on "The View" and "The Tonight Show"...that's all that matters.

[calimar28]

Paul Ryan, Nikki Haley...those are the two rising saviors for the GOP (along with Ron and Rand of course).

[QuestionAuthority2]

Paul Ryan's got guts - this is the kind of person we need in the White House.

[teapartyleader]

The Tea Party Voters have had enough...we will not stop until every Congressman who votes for this bill has been voted out...retires... or worse. Their families will not be immune to the pain and suffering that will return to them.

[Chslosers]

shut up dude

[sparkychan123]

@teapartyleader how can you call yourself a member of the tea party movement with this blatant threat to the congress? I want the supporters of the bill out too, but not with the option of "or worse" in mind. To top it off, you threaten their families as well? What kind of person does that? Family members of these representatives often times have no influence or involvement with the goings on of congress and are usually the most devastated in the end.

[givemeabreak017]

Paul Ryan is one of the smartest men in DC. I would venture to bet that he is the smartest man in the room 99% of the time. I love the fact that NO ONE...NO ONE is disputing anything he said because they cant.

[badger5566]

Paul Ryan for Prez 2012!!!

P.S. Does anyone else think that guy next to Paul looks like Digger Phelps?

[junkshui]

Give me a BREAK! That body language is nothing at all - blinking slowly? So what? Check out the guy to the right of the screen. I don't know who he is, but his body language really does indicate boredom - especially when he's rubbing his eyes! It would be better to listen closely to the speaker who only seems to be quoting facts and figures but is really saying not much at all, and droning on and on and on . . . . but then, that could describe most any politician these days.

[proud2b4family]

Obama and Biden's body language is absolutely telling. Covering the mouth with the hands. Scowling. Blinking slowly. Looking down. Fiddling with papers. All of that shows not only disagreement, but extreme discomfort with being SCHOOLED in spite of their over-inflated egos. Right on, Rep Ryan!!! We need more outspoken individuals like you.

[rickrik00]

Thank you, Rep. Ryan, you are to be commended. What you said made more sense than anything I've heard out of Washington in the last twelve months, and Thank You for having the courage to stand up and say what you believe in and speak out against this incoherent bill Americans clearly don't want. Thank You.

[WSOR4025]

Congressman Ryan, I must admit I love your rhetoric but I am dismayed by your support for bailouts of automakers and Wall Street bankers. I know you have read the work of the great Austrian Economist F.A. Hayek. You understand the free market. You understand the concept of moral hazard. Please Congressman Ryan vote that way. We need strong principled leadership, not another inside the beltway Republican.

[elizabeth32a]

Congratulations, Paul Ryan! That was a beautiful thing. And to have Obama sitting across the way, staring at Paul as he told him how his ObamaPonziCare is a disaster was priceless.

[pilly420]

Obama is a piece of shit. Hard to believe the american people were dumb enough to vote this liar in.

[lstrak]

This Congressman has just earned himself a good chance to run for president one day. Hopefully soon! He would make a wonderful VP candidate in 2012.

[bigsole1972]

so one speech qualifies a person to run the country? the dems and indy's did that for OB. I think we just need to follow the person's career choices and be more informed before lifting them up to that status. agree?

[YoukaiSlayer]

It makes me proud to know I have elected this man to serve me in the House of Representatives. He does exactly as an elected official should, he is my voice and says what I would say if I had the power to do so. I wish with all my heart that he would run for president in 2012.

[pklocek]

The word "owned" keeps coming to mind.

[Boomer1949]

Did anyone see the response from Obama to Paul?

[EncompassedRunner]

oh brother....facts & more facts....this has got to piss Obama off.... oh yeah, it shows in his face

[EncompassedRunner]

yep, there it is @ 5:25...Obama flipping the bird, like he does so often when he's mad

[nprbiz]

The best candidate for President that I have ever seen. I just hopes he runs.

[akrivosdiavolos73]

Paul Ryan, not even 40yrs old, gets an A+! He just OWNED and Humiliated Obama and is coolaide drinking disciples.....Obama is sitting there CLUELESS, angry, upset and dumbfounded by a 39yr old who is BETTER than the Harvard grads including OBAMA...

[Adimari]

Talk about knowledge of facts and ability to present those facts. I have the feeling Mr. Obama was thinking.... if I could only understand what Paul is talking about.....

Well said Mr. Ryan, well said.

[sjnagele]

well said

[SpecialFester]

That was 6 minutes of PWNED!!!

[phillipstr07]

Great job, Mr. Ryan. Keep it up and don't lose sight.

[guardsmn00]

Mr. Ryan, you are one of very few members of Congress I have respect for, and I hope you run for President...you'd be great one!

[darkspecter7]

Well done.

[toddolavi]

If Ryan Paul was black he would be the next president.

[ShonenAltec]

@toddolavi +1. Yup

[Rocaman73]

Finally, someone with at least a bit of common sense. God bless you Mr. Ryan. This should be seen by everyone.

[sgimsgim]

I am impressed more and more by Rep. Paul Ryan!

[jgain63]

Too bad the MSM will never show this. It deserves to be seen by everyone

[3martijns]

Ryan Schooled obamie!!

[3martijns]

Great Job, Mr. Ryan. God Bless You.

[scubajkd]

Thank You for your service! The founders would be proud!

[1Tarz]

Rep. Ryan continues to impress me in a positive way.

[xoSheRayxo]

Run For President!!!!

[BAOR5860]

I live in Washington state. Mr. Ryan, would you consider moving here to represent us. Thank you.

[pklocek]

Why not just have him be president and that way he can represent us all!

[BobfromSalem]

Paul-- YOU WERE GREAT!!!

[GrampieBob]

Should be the next Governor of Wisconsin. He's way to smart to keep hanging around with Pelosi and friends.

[scenebooking]

@GrampieBob Exactly why he needs to stay with pelosi and friends. need someone to put them in their place.

[kdg19877]

That's my congressman :)) WTG Paul!!!!!

[CowboyArtist]

Wow. I've always been impressed by Paul Ryan but he's just phenomenal here. This should be the standard to which all elected representatives are judged.

[murderapolis612]

now thats an intelligent future president right there. no teleprompter needed

[kmg501]

Yep, I watched this live and Ryan slew them on that point.

[underbird]

Thank you

[ErikNikolai]

Paul Ryan is masterful, and destined for greatness. Can't wait to see what he'll become in American politics.
