Paul Ryan is now speaking demagoguing at The Villages, Florida, and the idiot villagers just cheered his "observation" that President Obama has "run out of ideas."
You've got to admire, in a perverse sort of way, his chutzpah. Ryan has led the charge against Obama's variously proposed legislation--including a fresh jobs bill that would employ up to 2 million more Americans--yet Obama's the depleted problem, says Ryan.
This is Ryan's economy. It's the House Republicans' economy. This is what austerity looks like. And while the Village people are booing it, they're cheering for more of it.
In blind partisanship there is a stupidity that is simply unfathomable.
Of course they're cheering for more of it. They have no problem with those of us 55 and under paying for their health care and social security even as the people they cheer for vow to take it away from us when our time comes. "Yeah! We've got ours, screw the next generations!"

Ryan has never had any ideas. He has just taken the Holy Trinity (http://franklycurious.com/index.php?itemid=1968) of traditional right wing ideas:
1. Cut aid for the poor
2. Cut entitlements for the middle
3. Cut taxes for the rich
It is an effective set of ideas for creating a more perfect feudal state.
