MSNBC's Morning Joe: Paul Ryan on the Budget and Bipartisanship

With the U.S. House of Representatives set to consider the Majoritys FY2010 Budget Conference Report this week, Congressman Paul Ryan (WI-01) joined the set of MSNBCs Morning Joe to discuss the budget reconciliation process, and the lack of collaboration in Congress.

Ryan serves as Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, and has been deeply critical of the Majoritys budget, which Ryan has argued: exploits our very serious economic crisis to rush through a sweeping, likely irreversible, expansion of the Federal Government.

As Congressman Ryan recently made clear: It is not enough to simply criticize. We must also propose a better way forward. The budget House Republicans offered gives Americans a real choice. It curbs spending, creates jobs, and controls the debt.

@genYprogressive: really? The CBO said back in 2004 that SS was going to be solvent until 2053. The same study from the CBO stated that it was going to be deficit neutral till 2019. They were wrong and so are you. SS has tanked since then. The 2009 SS Trustees report states by 2016, the program will hit a permanent “negative cash flow” when annual benefit payments exceed annual payroll tax revenue less than a decade from now. It is a fiscal blackhole.

@jaimondrow SS is solvent untill 2037. The only way it has been spent is if you keep the deficit exploding tax giveaways.

@genYprogressive There is no SS surplus. It's been spent. But nice f-bomb.
