Ryan Pushes FY12 Budget Plan

The Hill reports:

Less than six hours after Congress and the White House announced a shutdown-avoiding budget deal, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) began talking about the next budget battle, which will be fought over the plan for fiscal 2012.

The budget deal covering the remainder of fiscal 2011 "is good news for job creators in America – but much more has to be done to put our nation on a true path to prosperity," said Ryan, the chairman of the Budget Committee. "Earlier this week, the House Budget Committee advanced a new budget for the United States government that will move the debate in Washington from billions in spending cuts to trillions." ...

“This nation is going deeper and deeper into debt – and the spending choices we make today will determine the kind of lives our children enjoy tomorrow," Ryan said. “The facts are these: Washington has not been telling you the truth about the magnitude of the problems we are facing."
