When faced with the insanity that has been our government, a man comes a ong that is willing to tell the truth and rather than being the same one, is called carzy.
If nobody has noticed, we are many trillions in debt and spending many trillions more than we are taking in. This does not even allow for the unfunded "obligations" that we have. Add that in and you are talking more trillions than are really conceivable. This in the founders eyes was not unimaginable which was why they did what they could to limit government. Our government is corrupt and we have a man that understands this and you call him crazy.
I think you protest too much.

Ryan is an ignoramous who doesn't understand ANYTHING about the budget, taxes or spending.
He's a moron who reads Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman and believes it because he's a goofy-looking loone.
He's a "Grover Norquist" clone who wants to destroy the Federal government and take it back to the era of the 1920s!!
(actually maybe not a bad idea afterall)
