rich lowry is the editor of the national review. he writes in political terms, picking ryan is supposedly like hanging out with the number two of al qaeda affiliate somewhere in the bad lands of the middle east. is he a target. how will the left target paul ryan? i think what the democratic party is going to bring up understandably is how you can get our debt under control under paul ryan s budget proposal. which mitt romney on the whole has supported only by cutting federal spending. therefore, what happens to homeland defense? what happens to law enforcement. what happens to veteran benefits. seniors are going to say need to be concerned about two approaches. one, medicare that it will be a voucher healthcare costs are increasing in cost than regular inflation. second, social security will now be a program that will be like any other discretionary spending program where each year you can cut or not cut
no. i m saying, though, if the republican party has gone so far left, mike barnicle, or so far right, why is it the national debt doubles? that s one of the problems with the coverage of politics in the country today, with the exception of people like mark. we have had more coverage of rick santorum talking about contraception than the mechanics of paul ryan s budget proposal. right. now, whether you agree with where ryan is coming from or not, the mechanics of that proposal, what s in that proposal and how it would affect all of us, is covered far less than people like rick santorum. here is the bottom line. rick santorum goes out and says some stupid things on youtube about contraception. is he going to ban contraception? no. no. he s not going to ban what did faulkner call it? the sound and the fury, signifying nothing. herman cain, sound and fury,
other dogs. we have our books and read about me i m on a roll. america s celebrity hot dog king available at amazon.com and website all american hotdogs.com. five models. one more thing to say. clayton: we ve got to wait for next hour, let s do that. get this guy a hot dog. dave and ainsley, what s coming up. ainsley: let him keep talking, that s cute. great personalities. dave: coming up on the show, during the korean war, a soldier walked 35 miles to safety with a bullet through his heart, seriously. more ripley s believe it or not military stories coming up. ainsley: coming up next, we have paul ryan s budget proposal fails in the senator, but his supporters have come up with a new sell and say that it s within even liberals can t deny. it s got real, sliced california almonds
medicare issue was so central in this race, democrats made this about the medicare issue and paul ryan was a central figure in this race, paul ryan s budget proposal. we will talk to paul ryan later. i m very interested to talk to him about that. and hear him respond to everything said. what happened in terms of this race and medicare, you hear liberal analysts talking about this race, they say it was paul ryan s plans to kill medicare that made this race turn over. as it went down the homestretch, i m not just piling on, an article on the front page of the new york times. doesn t help when newt gingrich goes on meet the press and calls this radical social engineering from the right, especially when you have liberals already saying that and a lot of independent voters get a lot of headlines and popped in for that.
starting next week? look, the so-called paul ryan budget actually puts us on a trajectory not only to balance the budget but to pay off the debt. it takes a long time. if we re moving on that kind of trajectory, i think you would see people vote to increase the debt ceiling but to just increase it without those kinds of cuts, no, we re not going to to it. i got to challenge you, paul ryan s budget proposal, i m not a ee efan of it, it adds $6 trin of debt to the budget, to our nation, over the next decade. those are the facts i think we can agree on. even if we were going to do that, we d have to increase the federal debt ceiling by $6 trillion. we re not going to agree on the parameters of the budget between now and next monday. nor is this the moment to really have that debate. so why don t we get this out of the way to calm the credit markets and securities markets and then next week begin what will be a very healthy and hopefully intellectually driven
