just watched the video until kudlow started to wrap it up about friedman. first off kudlow is an idiot and a shill for the financial markets which are pretty much divorced from the reality of the broader economy. the v-shaped recovery ain't gonna happen. as far as ryan goes he says the right things but when he says he's learned from history i don't think he's completed his studies. he needs to look outside the usa to see how other economies work because the usa has moved into new territory and the old rules may not apply. when reich said they were using up the seed corn he's got a point. america shouldn't sell its assets to support the standard of living. that's essentially what's happened with the export of jobs. if they shouldn't try to tax their way out of deficit and debt they shouldn't have spent their way into deficit and debt. the defence budget has gotten to be such a huge expenditure that it will have to be cut or the whole economy will come down and then defence spending will be cut with no choices. ryan is young, bright, articulate but he doesn't have a broad enough perspective to turn things around when it comes down to it he's more of the same. might be better than obama but obama is just as close to the right track just looking at it from the other side.

The class act of the Republican congressional delegation (House and Senate alike) is clearly the bold, articulate, personable Congressman Ryan. The most well-liked and respected Republican governor is Chris Christie. Both are dynamite in one-on-one confrontations. Both would shred Obama in a debate. Christie doesn’t look the part, but as Noemie Emery has noted, there are advantages even to that. Ryan, a true believer in the founding ideals, is presidential timber. The question is whether either man will seize the opportunity at the perfect, needful time to reclaim those ideals — or whether they’ll only step forward once we’ve already passed the tipping point.
