2. I know you know this VK, whether you will admit it or not, but Ryans budget, albeit far from perfect, finally addresses those uncomforable issues that need to be addressed. As you have said many times over the years, we are heading to be another Greece without severe and hurting cuts. He had the nerve to actually address the never ending welfare state that we have begun.. It has already started in the states and will continue to get worse.
Somebody has to be a big boy adult and try to address what is happening here and begin conversation, but thus far, as expected..nothing but ridicule. You might hope for LEADERSHIP, but not only does it not exist in the WH but also in congress.
The day is coming when we need to address this and while you worshipers of this WH can rant and rave all you want....you will declare how another war has been declared..this will be the Republicans war on the poor of course (lots of wars arent there ?)...you will say how insensitive....but this President decided to ignore his own "blue ribbon" panel, and I agree with you VK (at least in your past life) that we are approaching the end of line financially. This budget gave an opportunity to address the REAL UNCOMFORTABLE facts, but......

You don't have to explain the items, but can you just give a list of "those uncomfortable issues" which are not addressed in the President's budget, but are in Ryan's?
