"Starts out 14.3 trillion and ends with 24 trillion budget and debt" Those are not the figures paul Ryan has referenced. His belief is that his plan will cut $6.2 trillion for Obama's budget in the first 10 years, places the nation in a position to pay off the debt, reduces spending below 20% of GDP and reduces dificits by $4.4 trillion. I believe that the larger amounts are what is predicted without a remedy and the amounts ryan cites are with implementation of his plan. Budgets never lie
