So, he has no specifics? Not even vague ones?

Game. On. Prepare to reap what you sow.

LOL....so you have NOTHING showing that Paul Ryan ever makes that claim?

I already said that 2.8% unemployment sounds ridiculous.

The proof I was given was a far-left loon named Krugman (who's been proven to lie before) and some place called TALKING POINTS MEMO.

Gee......I wish at least you'd give me CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR, or something CREDIBLE!!!!!


EDIT: Wait a second!!! Ryan never makes that claim at all. Heritage Foundation said that. Why are you saying Ryan makes that claim?

Ah, so Fearless Leader Krugman was right about at least one thing...

When did Krugman lie? Please make sure to provide credible links. Why wouldn't Talking Points Memo be credible? Where is your link to Heritage Foundation? Please provide credible links. Let's begin holding you accountable.

LOL. You make some absolutely ridiculous statements on these boards, but this is rich even for you. Analysts are reading the plan Ryan wrote, and Ryan MAKES THE CLAIM IN THE DOCUMENT HE WROTE. Good grief, even someone of your limited intelligence should be able to connect those dots.

Here's another one, by The Economist--not exactly a raging leftwing site. And this analyst calls Ryan's projection of 2.8% unemployment "simply outlandish."

Facts and figures: Best budget ever | The Economist

If all of these analysts and columnists have been misstating the projections in his budget, why hasn't Ryan refuted the numbers?

Is it that tough then to back-up that claim with a LINK to him actually saying or writing that?

When I asked for links to Ryan making that claim about 2.8% unemployment, Liberals here gave me links to a Krugman article in the NYT and another one to TPM (Talking Points Memo).

When I followed those links, THEY linked ONLY to the Heritage Foundation.

Their entire articles were based on what the Heritage Foundation says.

I couldn't find ANYTHING in those links where Ryan actually projected that or claimed it in writing or in his own words.

Talking Points Memo???? Even it's NAME sounds like SPIN.

Paul Krugman's lies? I could fill this thread with them! But I'll give you one as a bone:

Big Lies and Little Ones

Paul Krugman's only example turns out to have been fraudulent.

LOL your one example of a lie is not even a lie! Your only reason to doubt talking points memo is because of its name?!? Lame, jt, lame. Try again. And try reading a Krugman article, maybe you'd learn something.

Maybe YOU Liberals should learn to NOT lie and say Paul Ryan made a claim about 2.8 % unemployment and then not be able to back it up with a quote at all???

I still can't figure out why it's SO DIFFICULT for you Liberals to show someone a simple quote when you claim someone's said something??

Instead all you give me is links to well-know partisan hacks who's articles only discuss the Heritage Foundation's report.
