The Paul Ryan Budget plan on a Personal level.

Great stuff FoosMaster! A funny perspective. But the nutjob Republican base actually gets behind Ryan's "serious" budget. Amazing and not at all funny that so many American Voters vote against their own interest.

As any student of history would readily recognize, the worldview of Ryan (and the rest of the Republicans) is reminiscent of the twisted ideology predominant in post-Weimar Germany.  A rationale used by those depraved "physicians" loyal to the 3rd Rëich ~~ those who would decide upon which children to "euthanise" in order to "purify" the "Volk" ~~ only now it is focused upon the sanctification of the wealthy .

The results end up being the same..

~~ that those who risk life and limb are expendable... law enforcement and firefighters who have the audacity to expect living wages (those they cynically call the "heroes of 911") don't matter.

~~ that those who educate our children don't matter.

 ~~ that the sick, the poor or the aged don't matter.

~~ that they all can be sacrificed at the alter of "capitalism" or the "free market" simply because their quality of life or even their survival is considered "inconvenient". 

And, more horrifically, it seems to escape the conscience (or the consciousness) of these sociopathic lawmakers.

Degenerate bedlamites such as Ryan (as well his enablers) should never be allowed to have any part in the governance of our nation whatsoever.. and it's up to ALL decent Americans to make sure that they never do.

The conservative mind at work.
"Government can't create jobs" - Then please explain the growing Department of Defense budget, and the ongoing wars we currently have going on. Are you not employing more soldiers than you did 10 years ago. Didn't Clinton actually close down several military bases because we were in a time of peace, and they weren't needed. Funny, I think the deficit was also next to null when he was in office, and he was a Democrat.

Hey Rep. Ryan, tell us again how you're a self-made millionaire and never took any "financial aid" from the government in any form.
I bet you didn't know your idle Ayn Rand took money from Social Security. It's public record.

Funny how the GOP keeps giving money to the Military, and the Military is now saying that under education of potential future soldiers has become a risk to national security...caused mostly by the GOP cutting funding to education, because it's wrong to ask for a raise, or to invest in education, but it's fine to go to war without paying for it, increasing the debt to trillions, and then blaming it whoever is currently in office, hoping that people are too stupid to pay attention.
The jig is up.

Ha! Great persepective, FoosMaster, love it!

"Every family needs to balance its budget, and the government does, too, although except for the constant squabbling, it’s hard to see how the government is like my family."

Now, who in the world balances a family budget to the point that at the end of each month nothing is owed to anyone? Where everything has been bought and paid for?

Very few.

The typical family has a mortgage on their home, a car loan and perhaps a student loan that was beneficial in their earning enough to provide a decent living for their family.

What Paul Ryan is expecting of our country is not financial reality. There must be an investment made in a country's future and wanting to see a pay-off later down that road in the form of a well-educated and well-trained citizenry.

Countries don't carry home mortgages or car loans....but if they are wise they invest in their citizens via educating the young and/or providing a means to teach skills so a working class can contribute to society rather than be unemployable for the type of jobs the future brings.

Obamas philosophy on the development of a budget would be to keep spending on what does not work, increase your total debt load, take money out of your investment account and spread it across other item of convenience that gain you nothing. Actually this is unfair to Obama. In violation of the law he has not produced his budget which was due in the beginning of February. I believe thisis the first time in a huge amount of years that Congress has gotten a budget out prior to the president. I think Obama has been hedging his bets until he sees what Congress will do. One good thing may come from this, it seems the Senate is finally producing one after 4 years of not doing its job.
This budget concept of raising taxes and not reducing spending is a joke. Oh yes, I know, the Dems say they are reducing spending but what they are actually doing is reducing the amount of the increase in spending. It is dishonest and a lie. Ryans will reduce spending by much more which is what we need. Obama wants another trillion in taxes but Obamacare will produce another trillion in taxes. WE are taxed enough. Especially since half of us pay all the fed income tax. This is a joke. The only work in Washington seems to be coming from the House.

Investing in people, the lost art of America.

Nailed it!

Great read, FoosMaster - love the caricature too :)

What a great way to get to the nuts and bolts of Ryan's budget, while actually pointing out how out of whack it is. I wish the MSM would stop taking Ryan so seriously, because he really lives in Disneyland and he loves to write fairy tales.
