Paul Ryan Unveils the House Republican Budget Alternative

House Budget Committee Ranking Republican Paul Ryan (WI-01) introduces a comprehensive alternative to the fiscal year 2010 budget proposed by the President and Democratic Majority. In stark contrast to the Obama plan, the House Republican budget alternative will get spending and deficits under control without raising taxes and ensure America can prosper in the future.

Ryan issued the following the statement:

America is coping with a deep economic recession today, and facing a tidal wave of debt tomorrow. The Presidents budget exploits the current economic crisis to justify trillions in new spending, taxes, and debt. Worse, by failing to address the looming insolvency of our entitlement programs, his plan puts our nation on a path to an even more dire fiscal catastrophe in the future.

Republicans must not only act to stop this disastrous course, but offer the American people a better choice. Our budget alternative provides a path out of our current crisis by restoring economic growth and job creation, controlling spending and deficits and by lifting the crushing burden of debt and taxes from future generations.

The House Republican budget alternative reflects the firm belief that Americas greatest strengths lie in Americans themselves. Empowering Washington to micro-manage our personal affairs threatens prosperity; encouraging the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of the American people restores prosperity. The stakes of this budget debate could not be higher; and the choice for a stronger, more secure, and more prosperous future could not be more clear.



The House Republican budget alternative works to accomplish four main goals:
1) fulfill the mission of health and retirement security;
2) control our nations debts;
3) put our economy on a path of growth and leadership in the global economy; and,
4) preserve the American legacy of leaving the next generation better off.

@entotalenigma it is the greediest country in the world a friend worked in the oil biz and explained what it takes to get this oil that we consume 30% of the worlds oil for the amount of people we have its insane .

it has brought out the most vicious campaigns to destroy other countries based on  lies and illegal actions against innocent people to get OUR FIX we are like a big doped up nation that is blind to it all .

there is NO SAFE NUCLEAR POWER NEVER EVER WAS OR WILL BE

[entotalenigma]

@petuniamighty i agree with the energy issue, however there is some use in safe nuclear power, if they stop using propaganda to scare us..nuclear power as a source of energy very powerful, however same power makes it as a weapon very dangerous..that is the only reason why i feel we should stress more wind and sun..more importantly this is not the stupidest nor greediest country in the world, it may look like it because of our size... realistically Americans are very competitive and compassionate

@petuniamighty Paul Ryan is more intelligent than the likes of someone like you. If anyone with any intelligence reads your statement it is obvious you are a uneducated blathering idiot! Why should we care for the poor anymore than we already have. We as American's have been paying the way with our welfare system to generations of people who refuse to do anything but suck off of government entitlements. When the poor wake up and find that it was their own government who made them cripples.

@Vetwolf13 I swear you people who are always harping about the wealthy. They earned their money from hard work, and sweat. Why do you feel like they should pay more. Its ridiculous, all it proves is that you are childish and jealous. The rich should pay the same amount on taxes as the poor and middle class.

[petuniamighty]

@entotalenigma TAX THE WEALTHY 1% AND THE BUDGET BALANCES ITSELF .

IT IS THE ONLT THING THAT MAKES SENSE ALSO NO MORE NUCLEAR POWER IT IS NOT CLEAN IT IS NOT SAFE IT IS NOT AN OPTION FOR THIS PLANET IF THE TIME AND MONEY WERE PUT IN TO THE WIND AND SUN THERE WOULD BE NO NEED . IT IS SIMPLY NOT AN OPTION NEVER WAS . THIS IS THE STUPIDEST GREEDYIEST COUNTRY ON THE GLOBE
