The 2012 Budget “The Path to Prosperity” Plan

April 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Last week the US House passed Rep. Paul Ryan’s 2012 Budget and now, it moves to the Senate for further debate. Rep. Ryan’s “The Path to Prosperity” plan should be read and understood by all Americans, Independents, Republicans and Democrats so they know and understand what the proposal offers.

Reaction to the proposal has generated a number of inaccurate talking points, misleading information and scare tactics, as evidenced by the pre-vote debate in the U.S. House of Representatives.  One thing we can all agree on is that the American people are tired of this type of empty rhetoric and want solid proposals on how to solve the massive problems we face.

We learned from the healthcare bill “We must pass the bill to see what’s in it” that if all the Senators and Representatives had thoroughly read the bill it would never have passed. Now that the American people have learned what is in it, they know we cannot afford it and want it repealed.

Our country has a huge debt and spending problem and “The Path to Prosperity” addressed this now, to ensure that these benefits will be around for the younger generations growing up today. They are the people funding these programs now and the Ryan Budget plan makes sure these benefits will be there for future generations.
