Paul Ryan is everywhere

Here , here and here .

And the best line from the Ross Douthat article:

The Obama plan for long-term fiscal solvency is … to appoint a commission charged with proposing plans for long-term fiscal solvency.

And speaking of the "commission",this is must watch. Fast forward to 62 minutes to see this exchange:

Tim Geithner: "What we are saying is that we are going to solve our part of the mess we inherited. We inherited a structural deficit, and to bring that down, we are going to have to work together."

Paul Ryan:"Then why don't you do it in your budget! You guys run the government. If you are going to solve our fiscal situation then why don't you do that."


[Update]
What's most amazing about that clip is how bad Geithner comes across on TV. All I can think of is Uriah Heep. OK, maybe that's unfair. But when he starts claiming that Bush was left with surpluses as far as the eye could see, ignoring the fact that the CBO estimates in 2000 for the 2001 baseline budget completely missed the tech bubble recession, he is being completely dishonest.

...and another Paul Ryan interview.

If even Orszag says that it's not a credible budget minus the commission, the deficits are not sustainable using the administration's own methodology. So we have a budget here that's not credible and not sustainable under the administration's own admission. And that to me is a huge dereliction of duty. I'm one guy from Wisconsin with a small staff, and if I can put out a plan that solves our fiscal crisis, surely the head of our government can do the same.
