"Like Comparing Alexander the Great to Sponge Bob Square Pants."

Comparing Representative Paul Ryan's rebuttal to President Obama's State of the Union Address would be like comparing Alexander the Great to Sponge Bob Square Pants.

So let's not.

Representative Ryan bellowed that future generations will have to pay the nation's current deficit, while he and the Tea/Republican Party are responsible for our "fiscal inferno." What does Mr. Ryan offer to address this issue? A re-packaged version of tax cuts for the wealthy and of course--smaller government. The so-called "Principles" of the Tea/Republican Party is nothing more than empty, baseless rhetoric punctuated by doom, gloom, and fear to frighten the citizens in the Republic. Haven't we heard this song before?

Mr. Ryan didn't present one--not one "concrete solution" to lowering the deficit so that his three children will not inherit it, a way to provide health care for millions of uninsured Americans, and solutions for creating jobs for the millions of people that are out of work. Representative Ryan is touted as fiscally brilliant, but what I witnessed was an individual who is "fiscally incompetent" and more hype than substance.

Representative Ryan's response was nothing more than a cheap, flat, and flimsy infomercial that should have been presented at 3:00 a.m.--when most Americans are asleep.
