Can someone posting negative comments about this video please argue some facts and lay off the ad hominem attacks? Attacking someone's motivations, associations, and character is not an argument and brands the author as ignorant or malicious. There is not enough wealthy peoples' money to solve the present and projected deficit problems if we can't rein in spending. It's the math, stupid!

the problem is socialism, only ending socialism will fix the problem.flat tax, close the fed/state bureaucracy and pay the debt.

Paul Ryan has guts. No one else is willing to even say the words "entitlement reform"

While I agree with Ryan that a debt crisis is possible if the US spends indefinitely, could someone explain to me why using large fiscal spending isn't the answer to the current crisis? Liberals supporting fiscal stimulus usually argue that they are adopting the same Keynesian policy that got us out of the Great Depression, could someone explain to me what's so different about today and the Great Depression that such measures won't work? Just wondering.

All I see from liberals is name calling and no facts. I don't think they understand how serious this problem is. What we have going on now is unsustainable in the long run. 40% of annual budget is paid for in borrowing money we can't pay back. What happens when we can't borrow anymore? We will either need to cut spending, print money or raise taxes severely on EVERYONE not just the top 10%. Do you see what is going on in Greece right now? That is coming to America if we don't do something soon.

That dirtbag republican whore would not be considered a multi cell organism in the lab; but some type of haunted protoplasm from the bottom of the septic tank he drinks from.

Recent survey said 54% of republicans aren't happy with their candidates. "Gee" can't imagine why? Mr.999 Herman the magnificent. Hey Herman how those genital warts doing??? Rick see ya later damaged brain Perry. Mitt the cult leader Romney baptising the dead again. Mr. frothy sntorum of google Santorum fame ,or was it scrotum, Mr. KKK incognito Ronny boy. Last but not least That pillar of virtue and chastity orator of all things fascist Gengrinch

Only someone who is ignorant of history and economics thinks we have dont have a revenue problem. The problem is revenue as this year govt revenue will be 14% of GDP -- the lowest in many yrs & this is b/c the rich, like Romnney, are paying a lower overall tax rate than the middle class.

@geezerdombroadcast What about Gitmo, Mr. koolaide drinker. Gitmo is still open for business. No terrorist have been brought to trial on our shores neither. What about that koolaide drinker?

[kb2010gt500]

@geezerdombroadcast Dear koolide drinker, we'll see how you feel when gas hits $5/gallon. Yeah, I know you librools would get out of your car and laugh at the price of gas but when you get home you fall on your livingroom floor and throw a fit a five year old would be proud.
