Swing State Voices: Paul Ryan Makes GOP Ticket More Appealing to Florida Students

Paul Ryan’s “Path to Prosperity:” A Good Start, but in Need of Some Work

Paul Ryan’s plan is a step in the right direction- it makes structural changes in a lot of controversial places. But his “Path to Prosperity” certainly needs to provide us with some more specifics, even if that makes the overall plan less popular.

This election, President Obama has the opportunity to change course. He has the opportunity to veto any budget that spends more money that the government has. The $15 trillion question this year is, will he?

SOTU–A Preempitve Response
