When it comes to monetary policy Paul Ryan is basically one of the smartest in the room. He gets it.

Hope he is a rising star. Could use a fiscal conservative like him in a position of power

I agree fully EK. Ryan is without peer, and I know of no one else in government that comes even close to his understanding of our financial peril, or who could so eloquently state the crucial issues we face with entitlements. Who can argue that we're not spending ourselves into oblivion. Entitlement reform is an issue and must be dealt with as soon as possible. Additionally, other areas of government spending must be cut by at least 25% to make even a dent in the debt and deficit.

Bruce, you asked "who can argue that we're not spending ourselves into oblivion." I'll tell you who......Paul Krugman and Robert Reich. They say government isn't doing enough and debt isn't the problem. The left thinks they're brilliant. These pompous blowhards are dangerous. They deserve some Turd Ferguson justice.....turd-waterboarding in the stool of the outhouse at the Ferguson estate.

Herb: I stand corrected. My statement should have read: "What sane economist could argue ..."
I'd pay to see a debate between Arthur Laffer and (former Enron advisor) Paul Krugman. I think Laffer would mop up the floor with him.
