Paul Ryan's dilemma

An article in The Weekly Standard makes a number of very good points about the current discourse on the budget.  First, it highlights exactly how politicized the debate has become and how unserious and truth averse the Democrat Party and its thuggish union members are.  Second, it demonstrates how biased and perverse the so-called mainstream media has become.  Third, it suggests that in any debate the advantage rests with the better informed, rational side than with the uninformed, emotional, irrational side.  So far, at least, Paul Ryan, the architect of the Republican budget proposal is winning the debate on this issue.  His dilemma, however, is to overcome the misinformation and disinformation being perpetrated by the democrats, their unions and left media supporters.  It will be a difficult time ahead for the forces of rationality and real reform largely because this corrupt media supports the demagogues.  It  is they who have the biggest and loudest megaphone and who are able to create the misleading narratives as is seen so clearly in this Weekly Standard article.  Ryan has the facts and the command of the issues.  It remains to be seen if he can overcome the left's all out assault in the coming months.  If he does not succeed we are over the cliff which is probably exactly what the left and Obamunists want to see happen.  They can then build their more perfect socialist union.
