Paul Ryan’s “Moral Challenge” focuses on “principle and purpose,” and ignores PEOPLE, who he describes as “exhausted!” How’d they get that way Paul?

The last guy to talk about moral challenges should be Rep. Paul Ryan. After careful analysis of his economic “Road Map,” increasing lower and middle class taxes, short changing Medicare payments for seniors and promising to balance the budget 50 YEARS from now, Ryan expects any of us to believe he has a moral social compass?

International Business Times: Rep. Paul Ryan said on Thursday that reducing the U.S. national debt is a moral challenge … “It's a moral challenge involving questions of principle and purpose. The size of the budget is a symptom of deeper causes, and it points to different ideas about government," he said.

Ryan shows concern for the budget and debt, but says nothing about his concern for PEOPLE. For decades, Reaganomics has turned control of the private sector to business and K Street lobbyists, and away from a government influence by the people.

But Paul Ryan made one big mistake in his blog for the Conservative Political Action Conference; he admitted Americans have been on the losing side of the free market with this stunning choice of words:

"Exhausted peoples chose to let others take care of them instead of caring for themselves," he said.

How did Americans become “exhausted?” Did they become "exhausted peoples" taking the benefits of our social safety nets? Ryan is obviously putting the cart before the horse, and inadvertently admitted our current system of deregulation and capitalism is exhausting average Americans to the point of seeking government help.

Ryan ignores how those safety nets were in place during the most innovative time in our history, the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. America did it all back then, even though tax rates for the wealthy were above 90 percent. Did it discourage entrepreneurs? Of course not.

"Let's choose to put proper limits on our government and unleash the initiative and imagination of the world's most exceptional people," he added.

It doesn’t look like the Social Security money he used to get a college education held back his Ayn Randian ambition one bit, does it?

One more  thing:

"If we act soon, and if we act responsibly, we can gradually phase in reforms to our major entitlement programs to save them from bankruptcy," Ryan said.

It's nice to know the entitlement programs won't be bankrupt. But we will be, each and every family and individual.
