Paul Ryan's Path to Prosperity



Paul Ryan (R-WI) explains why we have to confront the growing debt burden in the video above. He provides some more details about how he would like to do that in a Wall Street Journal op-ed: The GOP Path to Prosperity:
Congress is currently embroiled in a funding fight over how much to spend on less than one-fifth of the federal budget for the next six months. Whether we cut $33 billion or $61 billion—that is, whether we shave 2% or 4% off of this year's deficit—is important. It's a sign that the election did in fact change the debate in Washington from how much we should spend to how much spending we should cut.

But this morning the new House Republican majority will introduce a budget that moves the debate from billions in spending cuts to trillions. America is facing a defining moment. The threat posed by our monumental debt will damage our country in profound ways, unless we act.
