Paul Ryan Wants to Shut Down the Government, Permanently

In addition to wanting to privatize both Social Security and Medicare, Ryan has indicated that he essentially wants to shut down the federal government in the sense of taking away all of the money for the non-military portion of the budget.

Ryan has indicated that he does not want to see the military budget cut to any substantial degree. That leaves no money for the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, The Justice Department, infrastructure spending or anything else. Following Ryan's plan, in 35 years we would have nothing left over after paying for the military.

So what percent of people in this country know that the next Speaker of the House would like to permanently shut down most of the government? What percent even of elite, educated, policy types even know this fact? My guess is almost no one.....

This POS traitor is your new Speaker of the House!

Just so everyone understands, the republicans want to totally destroy all government functions except the money hungry MIC of course.

ALL OF IT! And here we waste billions trying to defend this country against foreign terrorists that are bent on our destruction when its the REPUBLICAN PARTY that is by far the biggest threat to all americans that aren't in the top 1%!

2. Yes, you heard it here on DU

The man who supported the banker bailout now wants to shut the govt down. If he shuts down the govt because he doesn't want to pay for non military spending, how he is going to bailout his friends on wall street next time there is a crash?

The truth is that Paul Ryan is not as radical as some people make him out to be, from my impression of him, he seems to be a very mainstream, very pragmatic kind of person unlike some of the tea party guys. He may want to fund more military spending than domestic spending, but he doesn't want to shut the govt down.

6. He should get a partial version of what he seeks

Shut down the offices of all Republican members of the House and Senate, and deny them access to the Capitol building, so that they can no longer participate in our government. Fire their staffs (see? we're saving money already!)

That way, they get to do what they want, and the Democrats who still think government serves a purpose can get on with making themselves useful by fulfilling that purpose.

This is why you can never give in to any leftist demands. They then add more to the demands and claim you are trying to kill grandma and the children.

If I worked at the Puffington Host, I'd be laughing until I hurt at how gullible was my reading audience. 

I should add that I'd also be laughing at all my fellow Puffington Host writers who actually believe the garbage they put out.

The same thing can be said for welfare and SS/Medicare spending.

Traitor? ???

Traitor? ???

Yeah, I didn't get that either. How is wanting to uphold the constitution and maintain a strong military being a traitor?  I would think that wanting to weaken the US by overspending on social crap but gutting the military would be traitorous.

Nope, their childish antics and temper tantrums know no limitations.

They are the quintessential spoiled brat.  They want what they want when they want it, and have no use or respect for anyone that does not enable them.
