obviously there is a camp that believes this is the biggest disaster that mitt romney could have ever done. picking paul ryan will seal his fate and that, the medicare issue is one that democrats are so enthusiastic about slamming paul ryan on. and yet, as paul ryan came out and said, look, i m from a really heavily democratic district. he has been able to convince people before. what do you think will be the end story on this? i think the end story mitt romney ticked picked a very articulate spokesperson for his point of view. you may not agree with everything in the paul ryan plan. you know what is the difference? he has a plan. you know how many budgets president obama has signed? zero. he is the first president in u.s. history never signed a budget. paul ryan develop ad budget. harry reid sits on it thinking it will hatch like an egg and it doesn t. when we ask who is developing a plan to get this country back on track, even if they don t agree with every aspect of the
senate, why have they not offer ad budget? what are they afraid of? it has been more than 1,000 days. we wonder what kind of financial mess when harry reid and senators in the united states senate won t pass a budget, won t discuss, debate or vote on the president s budget, you can see why we re in a mess. they don t have a plan to balance the budget. what you will see from house republicans to balance the budget. bill: what are they afraid? it is an election year. the problem in washington, d.c. it is perpetually an election year. because they don t have a plan. that is the fundamental challenge. bill: is it your expectation then that nothing gets done? that washington has checked out and they re looking toward the election in november? well, look, we can only take responsibility for ourselves. the house republicans we ll push forward a budget under paul ryan s leadership. i think before easter we ll pass out a budget. it will be back up to the
huntsman, i m ryan smyth. thanks, ryan. and my question is: in 1979, the department of education had a 14.5 billion dollar budget with staff just under 100 people. today we have a $32 billion budget, in the u.s. department of education staffed at over 5100 people. with that growth ain manpower ad budget we have paid since then over $500 billion in taxes and yet, the u.s. department of education has not proven to us that they should be in classrooms across america. my question is where do you stand as the u.s. department of education being inside a classroom or should they step out and let the american people take care of the education. ryan, that is a pretty simple answer and it is so long to the department of education.

hampshire. and though he did not name mitt romney directly, it was very clear the governor was santorum s primary target. i love this issue that i hear all the time. oh, this certain candidate is the most electable. what would give you that impression? when has that candidate ever run as a conservative and gotten any votes? never. so why would you assume that he s the most electable? is it because he raises the most money? we re doing okay. santorum s fund-raising is through the roof, at least for a few hours. he raised $1 million in 18 hours, and after his near win in iowa, half what have his campaign had raised the entire cycle. but his ad budget so far in new hampshire and south carolina has been a grand total of $37,000. by comparison, romney has purchased $1.5 million of advertising time in both of
