Please point out when the budgets submitted by anyone else would've balanced the books.

Rand Paul's plan would balance the budget in five years.

And I'm not necessarily endorsing Rand Paul's budget, but he's taking the only rational approach here. Paul Ryan would never touch the Republican sacred cow: defense spending. No Democrat will ever propose cutting social security or medicare. Can't balance the budget without deep cuts to all three.

Ryan seems like someone who was steered towards being a one-dimensional Republican career politician. He's the larval stage of your standard white-headed conservative seat-warmer. He's intelligent but seems generally like an uninteresting sort of person of modest ambition who'll do what's asked of him and be a 'good Republican'. Basically a person suited perfectly to being VP. I wouldn't trust him as a potential President though.

Biden is just an old dude who's stopped caring what people think about him and hopes like Hell he's not required to do anything important. He's a decent backstop and a nice old disarming personality to have around. Short of a few old man gaffes he's not going to rock any boats. I wouldn't trust him as a potential President though.

So, meh. No-one as as interesting as Sarah Palin this time around. Ho hum.

Yeah... I wouldn't ever hump any man's leg, not even if it meant removing America's debt.

It really depends on opinion of whether or not a person is interesting by the way.

Forget dry-humping then, skip the foreplay and go straight to the main act.

Ryan is boring. In fact I'm pretty sure he was brought on board simply to provide a little contrast in order to make Romney look dynamic and exciting. He's a water cracker. That's not to say someone couldn't find him interesting but that doesn't negate the fact that the guy probably has to be mindful of what suit he wears to make sure he doesn't blend into the wallpaper.

Not sure that plan got submitted, since budgetary bills must originate in the House, and Paul is a Senator.

And I'm fairly certain Ryan's budget called for defense cuts as part of a cap on overall federal discretionary spending.. Not nearly enough, I'll grant you that...but they were still there.

Ryan of course. The VP is supposed to back up the President or candidate and his message. Biden keeps opening his mouth and becoming a distraction by firmly inserting his foot.

PS
Have any of you criticizing Ryan's budget actually read it? At least he has a detailed plan to balance the budget, which is more than anyone else has thus far.

No, his budget is full of vagaries, nothing concrete.

I wasn't really asking for it. I just seriously doubt anyone in this forum spent the time to read the whole 99 page budget plan.

I read the highlights. His budget plan increased spending, but by $100BN less than Obamas budget. That's why I laugh when people call him a budget hawk.
