Why Ryan Terrifies the Left

[SniperFire]

So is it true or not true that Reagen NEVER submitted a balanced budget to Congress?

You should learn about our system of government here, and THEN post.

I think we both know that the answer to my question is no, Sniper.

Reagan NEVER submitted a balanced budget.

Well, we can all hope you have learned your lesson. Ignorant posts add nothing to the board.

Our Congress controls spending.

 

[HUGGY]

Paul Ryan terrifies the American Left.
Which precisely explains the tones of hysteria coming from the Obama White House.

The real question is why the Chicago Thugs have suffered such a public meltdown over Mitt Romney's choice of the young Wisconsin Congressman to be his vice-presidential running mate.

And there is an answer. Three specific answers, actually.

• Ronald Reagan: President Reagan today is an American hero. Poll after poll has Americans placing him in the pantheon of great American presidents, and occasionally at the top of the list.

The admiration for Reagan has become such a part of American historical bedrock that even President Obama and likeminded professional leftists have essentially given up the ghost. When they mention Reagan at all, it is generally to play a sly game of casting Reagan as a moderate, pretending to salute him while taking a shot at some Republican for not being more like Reagan. Obama played this game four times in one speech back in April, effusively praising Reagan while casting Mitt Romney as some sort of wild-eyed extremist.

No one is fooled.

Ronald Reagan was and remains the Left's worst nightmare.

Why?

Because it was Ronald Reagan who both understood conservative philosophy and was repeatedly turning it into effective policy. It was Reagan who began the massive historical deconstruction of a century's worth of the Left's ideas on everything from economics to national security -- repeatedly proving them as unworkable as they were dangerous. Not to mention that he trounced Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, and, through his vice president in 1988, Michael Dukakis. Three consecutive political landslides in which Reagan so changed America that by 1992 Bill Clinton ran as a "New Democrat" -- essentially portraying himself as Reagan-lite.

As the assaults on Romney and Ryan abruptly escalate, it's more than worth a look back to put all of these attacks in perspective. To understand that the visceral nature of the attacks on Mitt Romney and now Paul Ryan is old news -- decades old in fact.

Recall that when Reagan's hand went up to take the oath of office in January 1981, liberal economics had, by the end of 1980, produced:

- An inflation rate of 13.58%

- An unemployment rate of 7.4% that was climbing steadily on the way up to 9.6%

- A prime interest rate of 21.50% -- an all time high.

Reagan's answer to this mess -- as is Paul Ryan's today -- was a combination of tax cuts and budget cuts along with regulatory reform. His critics instantly derided this as "Reaganomics."

And as today with Ryan and his "Path to Prosperity" -- aka "The Ryan Budget" -- the leftists in Congress and the media were merciless in savaging Reagan and his "Reaganomics."

The American Spectator : Why Ryan Terrifies the Left

Paul Ryan terrifies the American Left.

He should terrify all Americans. He is a full blown astroturf fraud. He is certifiably insane with billions backing him up and the Koch brothers calling his shots. He has no business being anywhere close to a position of power in our government. You fools that support him are complicit in this fraud he is perpetrating and should be ashamed of your own willfull ignorance.

[bitterlyclingin]

One more reason that Ryan has set the Left to filling their Adult Huggies over his placement on the ticket: Math.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Jeez. This is really dumb.

Oh and anyone who thinks Reagan is an American hero hasn't been paying attention. He made us a debtor nation, left us deeper in debt than any prez before. We are still paying off his reign.

The Current ReaganBush Debt is:
$14,996,407,366,147.00
which means that in a total of 20 years,
these three presidents have led to the creation of
94.13%
of the entire national debt
in only 8.4746% of the 236 years of the existence of the United States of America.

Yes, you're right.

The scary part is that so many dittoheads cannot think for themselves and will gleefully vote for someone they know will steal them blind.

 

[Pho_King]

Ryan gets 10,000 people to hear him speak, Biden gets 600. obama can no longer fill a hall. Yes, that has definitely caused the left to start the descent into terror.

2008 Big Crowds for Obama = Bad
2012 Big Crowds for Ryan = Good

Got it? I wonder if Ryan will be called a Rockstar? Oh wait, Rockstar Obama bad....Rockstar Palin good. The right confuses itself

Ryan is a good speechmaker who's offering a message of Hope and Change. We'll see if the Right's contempt for someone fitting that description goes on the flip-flop pile.

Hope and change from the current administrations desire to fundamentally transform America. So yeah, that kind of hope and change we will take. We never thought America needed fundamental transformation like you OWS parasites.

Oh, look. Here's a brainless dittohead who has said that Obama has not submitted a budget of any kind and that Obama has spent trillions that had already been spent BEFORE he took office.

Suddenly, said dittohead has changed her tune and apparently knows that CONGRESS controls spending.

Stay tuned because tomorrow (or later today or even latere in THIS thread!), dittohead will once again lie about who has spent us into the poor house.

Huggy is right. Ryan (and his running mate, Etch A Sketch) is dangerous because of the brainless dittoheads who will vote for them.

I didn't know you could weigh hysteria.

Actually Ryan's boarding of the sinking ship that is the Romney Campaign neuters the Congressman going forward. It's more or less the cherry on top of the sundae for Obama that the Congressman has joined the battle.

 

[kwc57]

Meanwhile, according to the latets polls, 74% of seniors ARE in fact terrified by Paul Ryan. Great pick, Mitt!

Well yes, the MSM tells them to as part of their campaign efforts for Dear Leader.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

The last bit of this op-ed -

Paul Ryan understands the ideas behind Reaganomics, the ideas that brought about the Left's worst political nightmare in which they were five times the loser in Reagan or Reagan-lite landslides.

Paul Ryan understands, as did his mentor Jack Kemp, that the Left should never be allowed to claim Big Government or socialism as a bulwark of moral superiority. Instead, like Jack Kemp, Ryan is unabashed about making the moral case for capitalism and economic growth.

Paul Ryan understands exactly what millions of Americans were reading about in Liberty and Tyranny and Ameritopia: that the rights of man are natural rights that come from God, not the government.

All of which means Paul Ryan is indeed the heir to Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp.

No wonder the American Left is terrified.

The American Spectator : Why Ryan Terrifies the Left

Amazing to me that anyone would admit to still believing in tinkle down economics! But, that's what RobMe and Robin have said.

We cannot say we didn't know what they planned to do to the United States.

Uh, no ... What tells seniors and soon to retire folks that they should be afraid of these two vultures is their own savings accounts, their investments, their question of which will last longer.

Its should also scare the younger people as well because, if those two are elected, they WILL lose most of their own investments.

You don't have to talk about OWS or even attend an OWS whine fest to be an OWS parasite. And you are an OWS parasite.

While "LogikAndReazon" sings the praises of Paul Ryan as the "second coming" of Ronald Reagan, he conveniently glosses over a few facts.

Reagan inherited a federal debt/GDP ratio of 32.5% from the Carter Administration, the lowest since 1945. Despite all his self-serving rhetoric about the perils of "big government," he left office 8 years later with a debt/GDP ratio of 51.1% - an increase of 20.6%.

GHW Bush added another 13.0% to the federal debt/GDP ratio, while GW Bush increased it by 27.3%. Despite the fact that Clinton actually reduced that ratio by 9.7%, those 3 Republican presidents increased the federal debt/GDP by a total of 60.9% combined.

In 2009, GW Bush left the Obama Administration with a federal debt ratio of 84.2% - if the "American left" are worried about a Romney/Ryan ticket following in the "steps" of Ronald Reagan, it is not without good reason!

Say didn't Raygun treat all capital gains as income? To be taxed at the same rate as all other income? That doesn't jibe well with Ryans budget plan does it?
