Maybe some Conservative Republicans might do a better job than the Liberal Republicans that have become known as the "current batch"

Ryan's Road Map
Posted 07:03 PM ET
Fiscal Policy: The godmother of the Tea Party movement suggests we bypass presidential commissions and Oval Office compromises on tax cuts and follow a well-thought-out path to fiscal discipline and prosperity.
To paraphrase President Obama's famous quote: We won, although one would never know it from the rush to let the current Congress — a roundly "refudiated" and defeated Congress — decide the fate of extending the current tax rates established by the Bush tax cuts nearly a decade ago.
The House Democratic caucus, populated by the largest number of lame ducks in recent memory, is being allowed to decide whether the compromise worked out between President Obama and Senate Republicans will even be brought to the floor for a vote.
The Tea Party is upset that a hard-fought election triumph is once again being squandered in the proverbial "smoke-filled" rooms.
In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin suggests that the GOP act like it won a clear and convincing victory and simply follow the "Roadmap for America's Future" offered by one of its own, Rep. Paul Ryan.
Palin says we "should not settle for the big government status quo, which is what the presidential commission offers."
Nor, we might add, should we settle for the mere extension of current rates, the permanent enshrinement of ObamaCare, and the ongoing intrusion of big government into our daily lives.
The way to accomplish that is to starve the beast, and if there is any redistribution of wealth to be done, it will be from government back to the people who earned it and to the entrepreneurs who will risk theirs to create more for all of us.
Palin notes that while Ryan's road map is not perfect, it returns power to the people and is a real plan with real promise.
As she notes, "The CBO estimates that under the Roadmap, by 2058 per-person GDP would be around 70% higher than the current trend."
The national debt would not disappear, but we would stop making the hole deeper. Palin notes that while under the commission's proposals debt would rise to 433% of GDP by 2060, under "Rep. Ryan's Roadmap, the CBO estimates that debt would rise much more slowly, peaking at 99% in 2040 and then dropping back to 77% by 2060."
It accomplishes this by getting unproductive government off people's backs and its hands out of our pockets.
