Why doesn't anybody ask Ryan

[jojog]

When does his plan balance the budget?

The answer is 2040

[Scuba]

1. That would assume a whole lot of unlikely outcomes in the economy....

...and in society.


It also includes at least one math error of $2 billion. Pesky sciences.

[jojog]

2. Before anyone asks for citation

Type "Ryan path for prosperity 2040" into Google.

3. It does not balance the Budget and in fact it creates even more deficits..

It adds tremendously to the National Debt, which means we spend more on Interest so those bankers can get even fatter at our expense..

[orwell]

4. The deficit is being used as a stalking horse...

...by the Cons. The Con powers that be realize it is a way to organize their minions for political social engineering and Progressives are increasingly falling for it. This has to stop. They have once again convinced us to play on their ball field.

We are in the midst of a deflationary recession/depression that is being masked by tremendous amounts of liquidity being shoveled into the markets by the Fed and other central banks. Focusing on deficits in such a global economy is foolhardy at best.

We should be focusing on:

1. Energy efficiency
2. Clean energy R&D
3. Environmental remediation
4. Infrastucture development
5. Global debt moratoriums/forgiveness
6. Income inequality
7. Education
8. Global resource management

These are plenty of jobs out there with lots of people who want to work. The problem is elites manipulating the conversation by arguing over numbers on a spreadsheet.

We have a global fiat money system that uses floating exchange rates. We are not bound by gold/commodity "limits" on growth or investment. We are bound only by our imaginations.
