That's a
newly released "budget preview" from Rep. Paul Ryan (Sociopath-WI), but with no specifics at all it appears to be more of an audition tape for Ryan's much greater political ambitions.
Here's the core of the message:
“What if your president, your senator and your congressman knew it was coming? What if they knew when it was going to happen, why it was going to happen, and more importantly, what if they knew what they needed to do to stop it from happening and they had the time to stop it, but they chose to do nothing about it, because it wasn’t good politics? What would you think of that person? It would be immoral. This coming debt crisis is the most predictable crisis we’ve ever had in this country. And look what’s happening. This is why we’re acting. This is why we’re leading. This is why we're proposing and passing from the House a budget to fix this problem. So we can save this country, for ourselves and for our children’s future.”
The end of video, with Ryan walking into a room with lights and a camera set up, suggests that this is just the first installment in the Paul Ryan commercial. He's set to introduce his budget next week. This is the budget that
will break the debt deal signed into law last August and threaten yet another government shutdown.
Apparently Ryan thinks dramatic music and the force of his personality will convince the nihilists in his party that the $19 billion in further cuts his budget is purported to contain is enough when they want $116 billion slashed, or that it will bring Democrats to their senses and they'll ignore the fact that he's playing brinksmanship, again.
Or he's auditioning for that VP nod from the GOP presidential candidates. Which is just as likely as any other interpretation, considering the lack of actual content provided.
