but it will have to be we the people who push for him to run, if he ever does. The 2012 elections are going to be mainly about the economy and jobs, as there is no way either will improve while the Progressives rule the roost. Economics is Ryan’s strength, and his area of expertise. No one articulated the truth to Obama better than Ryan. Nothing he said was ever disputed by the WH.

When he revised his earlier version of the Roadmap, only 12 Republicans in the house signed onto the plan. The CBO costed it very favorably, and even CATO agrees with the plan, as well as the Heritage Foundation. The idiots in Wash. fear a terrible backlash from the old geezerds in the country when they talk about entitlement reform. That is why the can keeps getting kicked down the road. There has been more and more talk (other than with the MSM) about the crisis level of SS, Medicare and Medicaid reform. SS is now paying out more than they are taking in. We have a perfect example with Greece right now to see into our future. If we don’t act now, as Ryan said, the pain will be alot more intense in the future.
