Look at the Mitt Romney / Paul Ryan Republican Budget Numbers Below. Here are Paul Ryan's own hard numbers on his budget plan (S1) http://budget.house.gov/uploadedfiles/summary_tables.pdf Paul Ryan's "Path to Prosperity" Budget Plan: 1) Increases Federal Government Tax Collections from $2.444 Trillion to $4.601 Trillion. A $2.157 Federal Tax Collection Increase. An 88% TaxCollection Increase. 2) Increases Federal Government Spending from $3.624 Trillion to $4.888 Trillion. A $1.264 Trillion Increase in Federal Government Spending. A 35% Increase. 3) ADDS $4 Trillion to the National Debt. Note: These figures do NOT include 2 Trillion for the Navy Ships Romney wants. These figures do not show a 20% tax cut across the board that Romney has been lying about. And you thought the Republican Party was conservative? No difference between Republican Party and Democrat Party

No difference between Republican Party and Democrat Party President Romney = President Obama or worse..... ( Mostly worse ) Posted by wisemagic Ryan didn’t mention his numerous votes to raise spending and balloon the deficit when George W. Bush was president . Ryan didn’t mention how his budget would eviscerate programs that help the poor and raise taxes on 95% of Americans in order to cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires even further and increase — yes, increase —the deficit . These aspects of Ryan’s resume and ideology are sticky to sa y the least. He would have been wise to tackle them head on and try and explain them away in his first real introduction to voters. But instead of Ryan airing his own dirty laundry I want to hang him up to dry.
