Secular conservative here.
Bush and Obama have kicked budgetary issues down a road that leads to a cliff. Ryan has seemed willing to confront that fact.
I hadn’t realized that his “straight-talking fearlessness” might distract from a social agenda that is unacceptable to the bulk of the country.
Sorry to disappoint, but Ryan’s fiscal sense is a bunch of vapor. His budget, which supposedly marks him as a major wonk, doesn’t tally…and it makes unsupportable assumptions.
He’s not serious, he is kicking the can down the road.
