Another bit of evidence for the argument that our A-list candidates stayed out of the nominating race this year, leaving us to field the reserves. In this video, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) makes the case for the budget [1] offered by House Republicans yesterday. Here’s a link to the “trailer video [2],” which is worth watching, but, in this video, Ryan gets to the meat of the problem: we have a choice between growth or stagnation, rise or decline, and liberty or dependence.
Ryan explained his plan in more detail in the Wall St. Journal [3]. You can read generally favorable analysis of it from Dan Mitchell [4], and a typical liberal hack job by Ezra “the Constitution’s too old [5] to understand” Klein at the Washington Post [6]. Still, I have to ask…
Second look at a brokered convention?
