That was an excellenet reasonable discussion. Paul Ryan is on target in many ways but he leaves the sacred cows in teh GOP unscathed the military budget and loopholes for Wall street. We spend twice as much as teh entire world combined on miltary expenditures and I can not fathom why we have bases in Germany and Japan. The miltary budget is the real third rail in American politics as no one wants to be called "soft" on the military.
PROGRESSIVE TAXES - the rich pay a higher % of ncome in taxes than the middle class 1) Income tax REGRESSIVE TAXES - the middle class pays a higher % of ncome in taxes than the rich 1) Federal Social Security tax 2) Federal Gasoline Tax 3) Federal Beer & Wine Tax 4) Federal Tire Tax 5) Federal Cigarette Tax 6) Federal Telephone Tax 7) State Gasoline Tax 8) State Sales Tax 9) County Sales Tax 10) City Sales Tax + more than 200 more Ryan's plan will make the inc tax reggressive too

Social Democracy! Did Chris Matthews just say he wants social democracy!
Paul Ryan was right. Europe is fiscally unsustainable and is convulsing and hemorrhaging. I don't get what progressives and liberals don't see. Socialist democracy leads to the potential for explosive inflation and a bureaucratic class that stifles innovation and entrepreneurial activities. Even in Germany, the bedrock of Europe, it takes months and sometimes years to get a business off the ground due to red tape.
```America DOES have a REVENUE problem which SHOULD be a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY. Since Reagan, REPUBLICAN CLOWN GOD, the GOP AGENDA has been to REDUCE REVENUE in order to facilitate PRIVATIZATIONor ELIMINATION of programs such as MEDICARE,SOCIAL SECURITY,UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS& others.~*~*PRIVATIZATION would be followed by an INCREASE in the costs of these services thus generating HUGE PROFITS at citizens' expense.INSTEAD of generating revenue REPUBLICANS want the NEEDIEST to do with LESS.
I rarely like Chris Matthews but I was very impressed with him in this interview, where he had a very adult conversation with Ryan about some difficult challenges America is facing. It's clear that their political perspectives are wildly different, but they put them aside to talk about a real and urgent problem that needs to be resolved- exactly what the entire country should be doing right now.
Chris amtthews is washed up, done, stick a fork in it. This guy has his pants down-bent-over for his daddy Obama and waiting for him to COMMAND him what to say. I have never seen or heard a media member be such a suck-ass in my life. Hey Chris wipe your drooooolll of your Chin and go get hit by a bus.. NOBAMA 2012
We could point fingers, at each other, but what has to happen, for the health of the country, is begin with reducing government spending, Next, freeze all government hiring, wages, promotions, contracts. And thirdly, quit giving money to countries that hate us. Finally, tell all those countries where we are housing US Troops, they will need to protect themselves ,,, and pull 100% of our troops.
Thanks to liberal policy the world economy is crashing. We must do two things to stop the meltdown NOW!!! Firstly, we need to raise all payroll taxes 10% for one year. We also need to stop (right now) wasteful handout programs like medicare, social security, unemployment,, etc. and lower the minimum wage to $2/hr so we can compete with China. I will work with Cantor, Ryan and my other republican colleagues and take immediate action on these proposals. God bless the GOP!

Fiscally responsible conservatives like Paul Ryan and Michele Bachmann know this and are currently

Ryan is representing Multinational corporations and billionaires like the Koch Brothers and the Waltons. Does Ryan think he is smarter than Buffet, Bernanke, Greenspan? If he wants to do something, he should have voted for the "Creating Jobs and Ending Off Shoring" bill. 50,000 industries have left America in 10 years to avoid taxes and get cheap labor. Taxes were higher in 2000, the debt was paid down and the country was in good shape. Even dividends were great. So go figure.
Tax corporations so they do not get away with no taxation. The Citizens for Tax Justice put out a report recently with that 12 major corporations like Honeywell, Verizon, General Electric, and in three years, they made $167 billion in profit, paid zero in taxes, and got $2.5 billion back from the treasury. Solution to Debt Crisis is to End Corporate Welfare and Corporate Tax Loopholes -- youtube . com/watch?v=wbMifGKH -- DemocracyNow . org
It seems like more and more people want something for nothing. Ryan is not trying to hurt the working class, he is trying to prevent this country from going bankrupt--it is really sad when people don't get that! BTW "You go Paul" and if we go for the Obama health care plan--we are really screwed!
Paul Ryan is the most dangerous man in Washington. He could care less about you and I. All he cares about are the rich and the corporate elite. He's living off the money he gets from the Koch brothers and Rupert Murdoch. I hope someone throws HIM off a cliff too!
@NewWorldAhead Oh, if only you had facts to back your emotion. The fact is that Ryan is proposing a change in the way business is done in Washington to fix our fiscal mess(ie controlling spending by cutting excess spending and offering an alternative point of view). Maybe if you could argue an actual point instead of spewing democratic emotionalism, you might be taken seriously. Kudos to Ryan for at least offering an actual alternative other than emotional pandering and vagueness like "CHANGE".
@NewWorldAhead My , MY, you sound so DUMBDEM mature! KOOL-Aide drinker, smoke your weed lately. Go get an Obama job, pay your Social Security, taxes or go ahead , go to Cuba if you like. Castro will take of you,
he likes dead beat idiots like you. You fit the Socialist profile quite well!
Paul Ryan Is For Giving The Rich Taxs Breaks And Making The Poor And Disabled And Middle Class Pay For The Lost Money They allowed The RIch To Keep In The Form Of Tax Breaks Which Someone Has To Pay For In That CASE its THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO WILL Pay The BILLS OF THE RICH While They Get Richer And You POOR Paul Ryan Is In Fact For More SPENDING Not For The Disabled But For The RICH Why do we Need to PAY THE RICH you IDOT U NEED TO BE CHARGED CRIMINALLY For TREASON YOU TERRORIST!!!!
Paul RyanI think i get your plan now Give more tax breaks to the rich by cutting there taxes of 35% to 25% and raising taxes on The Poor and middle class That should cut spending right NO What your doing is Making a Gap what YOUR doing Is Making The Poor And Middle class Pay For The Tax Breaks you give to The Rich YOUR CAUSING SPENDING IDOT Who is Going to pay the Tax Breaks THE AMERICAn PEOPLE While Which American People THE POOR MIDDLE CLASS AND DISABLED So You Are In FACT FOR MORE SPENDING!!
None of the usualy amatuer liberal spinsters have a chance against Ryan. Now....Mathews makes an ass of himself every night.....but he sinks to new lows when faced with Ryan. He is literally scared of him....and should be.
Obama is TERRIFIED of Paul Ryan.....and should be.
"Obama the DICK has now come out to tell us that all of our problems are caused by rich pricks with private jets".

@GOPkicksbutt Dont you get tired of being a coward and posting this shit on every conservative vid? Nobody in the GOP is advocating this and Ive seen your page and you know it, liberal coward.
I've said it before - I'll say it again. Divide the country in half - 25 states for Democrats, 25 for Republicans. Divide them equitably, based on natural resources, environmental conditions, etc... Within a DECADE, you'd have the Democrat states demanding money from the Republican states, because they would be flat-broke. Why? Because people like YOU (liberals) don't understand - and are patently ALLERGIC to - the idea of personal responsibility. You just want OPM - other people's money.
Why is it that every Dem that shoots holes in the Rep plan, never talks about the Democrat Plan to SAVE entitlement programs?
Ansers= Dems have no plan and have blinders on to out of control $14 trillion debt.
Why can't the Dems say "Well Rep have a start, but we can tweak the plan to SAVE entitlements for our kids"? "There are not enough workers paying taxes, to sustain the PYRAMID Scheme"?
Fact: Everyday 10k people turn 65 (next 19 years). The 1965 Medicare Act never looked future.
Ryan's plan would give billions more to the insurance companies via vouchers. And where does the money for those vouchers come from? You and me, that's who!
Can you say CORPORATE WELFARE??? This nigger (Ryan) should know better! F U Ryan and the rest of your corporate slave (GOP) buddies!
You go Paul!!! Save the countries' budget on the backs of seniors and the poor people in this country I love it...who cares about these people anyway!
Privatize so the industry can jack up your premiums? Are you serious.......the only reason premiums keep going up is because of all you lazy ass Americans that constantly sue people for stupid crap. I guy accidently hits me while I cross the road for whatever reason and I break my leg........OH WELL, It's life and shi@ happens. That does not mean I have to sue that guy for a million dollars for pain and suffering. The problem with America is we are too fat and lazy to work, we all want too much.
This Ryan guy should be working as a mail room clerk somewhere! Maybe one of those insurance companies who are paying him will give him a good job! In any event, he's not for the people of this country - that is crystal clear. Chris - where is it written in blood that WE have to be the world's police force? If so, why don't all thos countries contribute? This is sickening!
Hey Mr. Ryan.. here's an idea for cutting the deficit.... why don't you and your colleagues on both sides of the aisle in both the House and Senate take a cut in pay?
Preferably a 50 - 60% cut in pay. You politicians on both sides caused this mess, and therefore should be the ones to make the ultimate sacrifice instead of trying to taking away the right to retire comfortably from the children and grandchildren of those seniors who are against this bill.
Republicans suck it up to corporations (here insurance companies) and screw the common man and then use religion and morality to bring the screwed common man back to their fold.

Everyone in Washington knows that Paul Ryan has been told he has a million dollar a year lobbying job for the health industry if he gets his health care law passed.
Here's how it works-he lies through his teeth to get it passed-the healthcare insurance industry makes billions more from vouchers while still denying it's customers health care.
Meanwhile this nigger gets a cushy one million dollar a year job as a lobbyist. Way to sell out your own people Ryan!
Chris Mathews should have just left his studio, went to congress and gave Paul Ryan a hand-job. At least we would know in lucid terms exactly what just took place in the last 8 minutes of this video. Keep up the intrepid journalism Mr. Mathews....
The one good thing about Ryan's budget proposal is that it will put a lot of right wingers out of thier jobs and homes. They'll have to move in with the kids who won't have jobs either. Many will die from lack of proper affordable health care. I'm all for that.
paul ryan commited political suicide, along with several other republicans. we need a real progressive, not fake ass obama/evan bye wannabe. a real progressive would crush these republicans and wipe them out

Goodness : I had to get on here to re-reply...lol Oddly enough I have worked for 3 small businesses, who were never overcome by corporations. Maybe monopolies could hamper middle class growth, but to be so very paranoid, Mark1m? And let it end with this : The love of money is the root to all sorts of evils. I suppose while you seek to regulate, you will be regulated. So really, work hard, love and live. It is rampant sin that will crush this nation.
@Lllburns Did you pass 3rd grade math? $22 billion does not cover the debt. If you took all the income of people over $250,000, it would cover one year's debt to April. If you took all the profit from corporations and added that to income of people over $250,000; it would only pay out to August. Go to the IRS web site and read what the total revenues for last year was. They would not cover the debt. Then find Ryan's plan and read it.
@DillonDee1 actually you're wrong... paul ryan does endorse eliminating oil subsidies...
cbsnews. com/8301-503544_162-20058561-503544. html
read this... his actually eliminating tax loopholes and deductions for big companies and he even opposed the oil subsidies... you'll find a video about it in the article...
May 5, 2011 ... Republicans unanimously voted down a motion from Democrats to consider legislation that would end subsidies to oil companies on Thursday.
@DillonDee1 so wait because they didn't vote to end the subsidies before they said they were going to end the subsidies means they're not going to do it? hahahaha! WOW! its like saying I'm going to do something and you think I'm lying because I've never done it before...
@DillonDee1 nope I think you have the wrong timeline... this town hall meeting was held at the end of April... the last vote for oil subsidies, was on march 1st...
@Sexisttroll -- "May 5, 2011, Republicans on Thursday unanimously voted down a motion from Democrats to consider legislation to end subsidies to oil companies.
Democrats sought to attach the measure, which failed in a 241-171 vote that saw seven Democrats defect, to a bill that would allow oil companies to more easily secure drilling permits off the Gulf Coast. That bill passed."
@Lllburns of course the typical "only helping the rich argument"... wow! moveon. org must be busy hiring people to spread propaganda... the Paul Ryans budget plan includes a tax reform which involves eliminating tax loopholes and deductions for corporations as well as eliminating oil subsidies...
@Sexisttroll Funny thing is that every time he votes, Ryan votes to PROTECT subsidies. He never votes aganst them. I wonder why that is. Maybe he's LYING?
@Lllburns --- House Republican Budget Chairman Paul Ryan recently stated on FOX that his Budget Will Target Seniors, Not Oil & Gas
While not eliminatingg the Oil & Gas subsidies which would save billions of dollars over the next decade, Paul Ryan made clear the House Republican budget will slash Medicare & Medicaid
@DillonDee1 You are out of your mind. The oil and gas "subsidies" are $2B a year. Medicare is $447B, Medicaid is $290B, CHIP is $10B and grants to states are $797M a year. That doesn't include "stimulus" spending on these programs of $43B in 2010. How can you even say such a foolish thing? Do you lack all critical thinking skills? Or do you just parrot the Democratic talking points of the day? Sorry, Dillon, but you are obviously an idiot.
@Lllburns -- and it makes no sense that Ryan fought to delete the Program for Homeless Veterans because every little bit helps -- then says the billions for oil companies is no big deal
@Lllburns Understanding how the economy works is not satanic, it's positive economics and it's pragmatic. look up idealist in a dictionary. look up normative economics. they don't take in to account how the world actually behaves and by definition are the policies that we should not use.
@Lllburns Nice diatribe of talking points but unfortunately when you flap off like you did, all you're really saying is "I have absolutely no solutions or ideas to propose so I'll lie about the conservative's plan". LIBERALS HAVE NO BALLS OR IDEAS. Grow a set and get back to us but until then, try for once to use your own hyperbole instead of repeating what you hear on msnbc. Brainless...
@Lllburns I appreciate your criticism for Ryan but I see something you said a little differently. You said Ryan has christianity backwards but I think he has it exactly right, The history of christianity has "almost" totally been the right hand of dictatorship ( Kings) and completely suppressive and fear mongering to the the masses
@Lllburns Honestly - what is WRONG with you? Do you have a brain tumor or something? Even Matthews admitted that spending is "out of whack". $1.6 TRILLION deficit. Say that out loud - and then look up "deficit". It's not debt - it's adding TO the debt, which has increased from $9 Trillion to over $14 Trillion in 2.5 years (65% increase). And you think Ryan is Satanic? Have you completely lost grip with reality, or are you just so sold out on the nanny-state that you no longer THINK? Moronic.
@Lllburns If there hadn't been so much irresponsible and useless spending in the first place, Rep. Ryan never would have to be in the his position. Bush didn't veto any of the Congressional Democrats' spending while he was in office and now Obama had gone to town on spending. And look where we're at. Let everyone pay their fair share. I don't want someone who doesn't work to have welfare/health care/housing paid for them out of the upper-middle class and the wealthy pockets.
The ONLY way to bring jobs back to America is to lower the minimum wage to $2/hr.
This is the only way we can compete with China. Paul Ryan and my fellow republicans need to act on this now. Employers also should not have to carry the burdern of paying for health care either. Go get em Paul!
I love how Rep. Ryan kept a straight face when Chris Matthews said "Let me put a liberal hat on for a minute." I nearly did a spit-take, and I wasn't drinking anything.
Cancel out the Bush tax cuts - ALL OF THEM - & close military bases overseas & cut military spending by 25% - AND MOST OF THE BUDGET PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED!
Paul Ryan gets the best health care money can buy and you're payin for it-SUCKERS! Meanwhile, he's trying to privatize it so the industry can jack up your premiums (if you're lucky enough to afford them) even more than they are now. If you ever see this nigger ask him how much he pays for health insurance! BTW no one in Canada has ever gone banckrupt (you will if Ryan has his way) from medical bills. Say it with me 'SUCKERS"!
@TheKmbt funny that you say that because paul ryan is actually trying to give us a similar voucher like system that they use in congress in which the state is going to pay to an insurance company we get to choose from a list... BTW you spreading disinformation everywhere especially by copying an pasting the same comment all over payl ryans videos is actually a funny thing... what organizing for america is been busy hiring propagandists?
@TheKmbt Nobody in Canada is going bankrupt, just their entire country. They have a 564 billion dollar deficit. You can't just make everyone happy at the expense of a HUGE debt. It's just a cover up. Get real.
@eajags2825 Typical righty reply! Sure Canada has problems but they'll be around longer than we are because we've taken the biggest dive in history from having a surplus to a debt we'll never get out of. At least Canadians care enough about each other to provide a better standard of living which includes affordable health care for all. In America it's every man for himself. Screw the other guy! This is why Ryan gets the best health care and you don't!
@TheKmbt You know why Canada is more sustainable it is because they don' fall for the pie in the sky get rich off the stockmarket, Horatio Alger story that we in the US are prone to, the high are not so fantastical and the lows are cushioned that is how they avoided 2009 financial meltdown, and oh yeah they don't put the scapegoat tag on their least of their populace as the republicans tend to do.
@TheKmbt I just read a report from the CBO, that says that you could tax the $millionaires double the amount they pay now and it would only pay the interest on the debt.
After we take all the Rich peoples money, then what do we do about the Pyramid schemes of Medicare and Social Security. Young people are in big trouble...........they are stuck with no benefits and our debt.
@TheKmbt So you don't like the "DRAFT" plan of Paul Ryan? So what is the Democrats Plan? I know. Put your head in your ass and pretend that Medicare, SS, $14 Trillion Debt, Shit housing prices, etc are just all Bushes fault.
For you people that LOVE to put the blame on Insurance Companies. I just got a blood test for colestoral. The bill was a whopping $599. Blue Cross paid $468 of that. People need to start asking the price for healthcare services. Ask your doctor how much for a visit. Ask the hospital how much for XRay, etc.
Stop making Insurance companies the boogie man. Then again, Dems always need a boogie man bad guy to FOOL voters into thinking they are on their side.
@TheKmbt your an idiot, congressmen and woman have private healthcare, paid for in part by their employer (the taxpayer) just like you and me, well me, i have employer paid private health care, you probably work at mcdonalds and want free shit. he pays his premiums also just like i do. no one in canada has gone bankrupt? have you been to canada? wake up man. canadians hate their health care, they come here for surgeries cause the waiting list is huge, and they don't offer a ton of surgeries...
@TheKmbt A) don't call me that, not ok. B) I don't watch glenn beck, but i do have my eyes open and do see the truth, you do not. C) I personally know canadians who hate their system, and who drive to the u.s. to get real health care, stop watching msnbc man and wake up
@383man The Kmbt is also Gopkicksbutt, and a few others, DillonDee shows up in the same place too. They dont argue with facts, they just sling vulgarities around and run like a coward, I have yet to see a real debate out of them. Honestly I think they get paid to troll by someone like media matters or huff po. Keep your opinions coming though, the truth needs to get out there before the train derails.
@TheKmbt HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SOCIALISTIC COUNTRIES LIKE GREECE AND BRITAIN ARE BEING FUCKED OVER BY GOVERNMENT TAKE OVER HEALTHCARE, FREE MARKET HEALTHCARE MAY NOT BE PERFECT BUT ITS BETTER THAN POLITICIANS RUNNING THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
@TheKmbt You are simply a secret RACIST and a mental moron. Go to Canada if you like that Socialist program, and stop with your Saul Alinsky tactics. You have been exposed for your cheap smear the messenger tactics, and its not working any more! You UNION thug!
@TheKmbt I know you lack the IQ necessary; however, try to express and write in complete sentences. I know you are a product of the Public School system by your spineless responses. Oh, yea, more wasted UNION dues to support the Dems for Political Power. Just think if Teacher Union dues helped the individual schools and their students? You might have had a chance to really be successful. Too bad!
Here we go with the coveting the rich again. I never witnessed so much true ignorance before. 1st : the rich that you are so jealous of, pay a majority of this entire countries taxes. 2nd : do not blame other people with creative genius,a drive to succeed, and higher intelligence for the woes of everyone else. In fact, if there were no "rich" folks, then who would pay the workers? Your god of a government? And then : where would they get the $ ? You have a class envy chip weighing you down.
@dinglegrapes You have a crappy understanding of economics. Lets say im steve jobs, im top 1%... my business is based off selling products to the middle class. You kill middle class growth, and shift all economic growth to the rich.... my business tanks.
The success of business is based off the demand of average americans, not the top 1%. Keep enriching the top and all our major industries die off and yacht building, and caviar farming are the only industries that thrive.
Ryan wants to give MORE tax breaks to the rich so they can build more factories overseas. This is a continuation of the Bush years where 8 million jobs were
outsourced. If this nigger has his way none of us will have jobs, health care, or social security! America deserves better!
I pray to God that the republicans have their way. It will give me great pleasure to see all you inbred right wingers lose your jobs, homes, pensions and social security!
The GOP will privatize everything and that means you'll lose it- all of it! And that goes for your inbred kids too! Just PLEASE, PLEASE thinks of me and how happy I'll be when it happens! SUCKERS!
okay, i see what you're saying currently Mr. Ryan. cutting medical care for the elderly, poor, and veterans, will save money right? well how will cutting taxes for the rich save money? you're logic is more fucked than an armless man in a boxing match. how in the name of God did you become one of our leaders? it just blows my mind to see what has happened to our once-great nation
This guy makes no sense... Not so liberal way back in the day.. then really liberal.. OBAMA pisses him off... not as liberal and being nice to PAUL RYAN.. who is the most articulate and ballsy CONSERVATIVE I have seen in years... PAUL RYAN FOR PRESIDENT no questions asked
Paul Ryan compares the United States of America to Greece and Spain HAHAHA! What a clown. Paul you're mistaken about the "Defense spending being the lowest" The U.S.A. spends (wastes) more on defense than every nation on the planet earth COMBINED.
Get real.
I can smell the B.S. from this clowns mouth, he must be chewing on turds.
@SGhockeychika4 Under Bush (republican) America lost over 8 million jobs (shipped overseas) while the rich got tax breaks! And Ryan voted for all of it!
That's one hell of a jobs program (if you're Chinese) SUCKERS!!!
@SGhockeychika4 Pelosi is a dumbass and any liberal is willing to tell you that. But i have to sya that most conservatives use the word liberal like it's a bad one. Gets a little tiring, and the economy crash happened becuae the corporations had waay too much freedom. It becomesa conflict of interest for the people. in order for the people to have some freedom, the corporations need to be regulated like hell. It the corporations have the freedomthen the people become slaves to debt. cant be both
@SGhockeychika4 Andyour whole defense of the Richcreate the job. for the most part true, but the rich are the only ones with the money buddy hence *rich*.Taxing the poor more is just redundant. And after the close to 10 years of republicans looking out for the rich, why havent theycreated all these jobs you speak of? oh, thats right, because on top of taxes breaks they also got all this deregulation so they can ship those jobs to china to make it for evenless.What a win win for them.but not us.
@SGhockeychika4 Taxing*** the rich never works? Do you know who president Eisenhower is? No? He was a republican back in the 50's; 5 star general and great military strategiest. He became president on his qualities. And you knw what he did? he taxed the rich up to 92% (rough estimate) of their wealth, and they still had enough to live better than most. Imagine that, a Republican taxing the rich (it's not a myth).
@SGhockeychika4 So Medicare(old people Insurance), Medicaid(poor insurance), Education(that is a necessary anyway) and subsidies are the problem? Are you serious? How about we start to tax the rich(at least 70% of their money, because they owe it to americans anyway) and bring this non-sense war to an end(which costs $2 billion/ per day) All the programs I just listed have never been the problem. Unless you can tell me they are, then I might change my tune)
Paul Ryan is an opportunist and a liar.....God save our senior citizens from this man.....!!! Really Chris Matthews......have always watched you but come on this guy is an idiot...Lets find another way to save money.....how about taking away the healthcase of the representatives!...
Mathews is talking 'politics', Ryan is talking fiscal reality --- which one is making sense? Ryan has a growing constituency with thinking Americans; all we have to have are more thinking Americans.
Ryan and the GOP believe in choices!! That's right-if they have their way senior citizens will have to make lots of choices - one choice they'll have to make will be between health care and food! SUCKERS!!!
The problem is you have the warfare party versus the welfare party and that is what's tearing this country apart. We can no longer support both. At some point, some people have to be responsible for their own lives with an understanding there are those that can't do on their own. The cuts need to be done to both defense and entitlements. Sorry, that's got to be where it starts. We've shown our military strength and no one can touch us. Let's stop proving it and bring the troops home.
@cliffy827 What about when the "warfare party" and "welfare party" are the same thing? Both republicans and democrats have engaged in wars and expanded welfare programs. Don't you get it?
Obama said he'd end the wars and he started a new one. If the guy who campaigned on "ending the war" can't get it done, who will?
That was an excellenet reasonable discussion. Paul Ryan is on target in many ways but he leaves the sacred cows in teh GOP unscathed the military budget and loopholes for Wall street. We spend twice as much as teh entire world combined on miltary expenditures and I can not fathom why we have bases in Germany and Japan. The miltary budget is the real third rail in American politics as no one wants to be called "soft" on the military.

I rarely like Chris Matthews but I was very impressed with him in this interview, where he had a very adult conversation with Ryan about some difficult challenges America is facing. It's clear that their political perspectives are wildly different, but they put them aside to talk about a real and urgent problem that needs to be resolved- exactly what the entire country should be doing right now.

And thirdly, quit giving money to countries that hate us. Finally, tell all those countries where we are housing US Troops, they will need to protect themselves ,,, and pull 100% of our troops.

Thanks to liberal policy the world economy is crashing. We must do two things to stop the meltdown NOW!!! Firstly, we need to raise all payroll taxes 10% for one year. We also need to stop (right now) wasteful handout programs like medicare, social security, unemployment,, etc. and lower the minimum wage to $2/hr so we can compete with China. I will work with Cantor, Ryan and my other republican colleagues and take immediate action on these proposals. God bless the GOP!

@Lllburns Did you pass 3rd grade math? $22 billion does not cover the debt. If you took all the income of people over $250,000, it would cover one year's debt to April. If you took all the profit from corporations and added that to income of people over $250,000; it would only pay out to August. Go to the IRS web site and read what the total revenues for last year was. They would not cover the debt. Then find Ryan's plan and read it.

@TheKmbt A) don't call me that, not ok. B) I don't watch glenn beck, but i do have my eyes open and do see the truth, you do not. C) I personally know canadians who hate their system, and who drive to the u.s. to get real health care, stop watching msnbc man and wake up

@383man The Kmbt is also Gopkicksbutt, and a few others, DillonDee shows up in the same place too. They dont argue with facts, they just sling vulgarities around and run like a coward, I have yet to see a real debate out of them. Honestly I think they get paid to troll by someone like media matters or huff po. Keep your opinions coming though, the truth needs to get out there before the train derails.

Here we go with the coveting the rich again. I never witnessed so much true ignorance before. 1st : the rich that you are so jealous of, pay a majority of this entire countries taxes. 2nd : do not blame other people with creative genius,a drive to succeed, and higher intelligence for the woes of everyone else. In fact, if there were no "rich" folks, then who would pay the workers? Your god of a government? And then : where would they get the $ ? You have a class envy chip weighing you down.

@dinglegrapes You have a crappy understanding of economics. Lets say im steve jobs, im top 1%... my business is based off selling products to the middle class. You kill middle class growth, and shift all economic growth to the rich.... my business tanks.
The success of business is based off the demand of average americans, not the top 1%. Keep enriching the top and all our major industries die off and yacht building, and caviar farming are the only industries that thrive.

Ryan wants to give MORE tax breaks to the rich so they can build more factories overseas. This is a continuation of the Bush years where 8 million jobs were
outsourced. If this nigger has his way none of us will have jobs, health care, or social security! America deserves better!

Paul knows his stuff.
He's a Christian. He knows that Jesus wants us to pamper the wealthy, and completely screw over the poor, screw over the elderly and working class.
Plus, America is a small, tropical-island country with coconuts and sugarcane as its main export.
We can't afford to meet very basic social needs. We can only afford tax cuts for the rich, right Paul?
GE and BofA paid NO FEDERAL TAXES in 2010.
That's ok. Paul knows they don't use roads-- they all walk to work.

@SGhockeychika4 Pelosi is a dumbass and any liberal is willing to tell you that. But i have to sya that most conservatives use the word liberal like it's a bad one. Gets a little tiring, and the economy crash happened becuae the corporations had waay too much freedom. It becomesa conflict of interest for the people. in order for the people to have some freedom, the corporations need to be regulated like hell. It the corporations have the freedomthen the people become slaves to debt. cant be both

@SGhockeychika4 Andyour whole defense of the Richcreate the job. for the most part true, but the rich are the only ones with the money buddy hence *rich*.Taxing the poor more is just redundant. And after the close to 10 years of republicans looking out for the rich, why havent theycreated all these jobs you speak of? oh, thats right, because on top of taxes breaks they also got all this deregulation so they can ship those jobs to china to make it for evenless.What a win win for them.but not us.

@SGhockeychika4 Taxing*** the rich never works? Do you know who president Eisenhower is? No? He was a republican back in the 50's; 5 star general and great military strategiest. He became president on his qualities. And you knw what he did? he taxed the rich up to 92% (rough estimate) of their wealth, and they still had enough to live better than most. Imagine that, a Republican taxing the rich (it's not a myth).
john12892 10 months ago
@SGhockeychika4 So Medicare(old people Insurance), Medicaid(poor insurance), Education(that is a necessary anyway) and subsidies are the problem? Are you serious? How about we start to tax the rich(at least 70% of their money, because they owe it to americans anyway) and bring this non-sense war to an end(which costs $2 billion/ per day) All the programs I just listed have never been the problem. Unless you can tell me they are, then I might change my tune)

The problem is you have the warfare party versus the welfare party and that is what's tearing this country apart. We can no longer support both. At some point, some people have to be responsible for their own lives with an understanding there are those that can't do on their own. The cuts need to be done to both defense and entitlements. Sorry, that's got to be where it starts. We've shown our military strength and no one can touch us. Let's stop proving it and bring the troops home.

@cliffy827 What about when the "warfare party" and "welfare party" are the same thing? Both republicans and democrats have engaged in wars and expanded welfare programs. Don't you get it?
Obama said he'd end the wars and he started a new one. If the guy who campaigned on "ending the war" can't get it done, who will?
