Congressman Paul Ryan, the Republican budget guru, held a series of talks last week back home in Wisconsin. We got this pic from his talk in
Oak Creek. Debt and deficit are
not the same thing, but they're at least on a first-name basis. You can see, above, Congressman Ryan's chart about what he considers the root cause of debt. In short, it's the slate of entitlement programs
Mr. Ryan wants to curb.
And below, you can see the view from the
Center on Policy and Budget Priorities. In short, it's the Bush tax cuts, which
Congressman Ryan supports in the name of lessening uncertainty. (
Another view: the real problem is not uncertainty, either.)
Paul Ryan on what ails you...
