This is a great video – Congressman Paul Ryan talking about the budget crisis and our generation’s defining moment.
Ryan: What if you’re President and your member of Congress saw it coming. What if they knew why it was happening, when it was going to happen and more importantly, they knew what to do to stop it, and they had time to stop it, but they didn’t. Because of politics. What would you think of that person? Mr. Chairman, that’s where we are right now. This is the most predictable economic crisis we’ve ever had in the history of this country.
