Wondering what the "Ryan Roadmap" is all about? Peter Ferrara, Director of Entitlement and Budget Policy for the Institute for Policy Innovation, has put together a summary analysis. Here's an excerpt -- click here to read the full analysis.

"Paul Ryan, Ranking Republican on the House Budget Committee, has proposed a comprehensive plan that would eliminate long-term budget deficits, make Social Security solvent, make Medicare solvent, provide a comprehensive health care safety net for the poor and uninsured, and adopt comprehensive tax reform with low, pro-growth tax rates.

"And that’s not just my opinion – the entire Roadmap is officially scored by CBO as achieving these results, with no tax increase. Indeed, it would balance the federal budget over the long run with both taxes and spending at their long-run historical average of 18.6% of GDP. This is achieved because the plan includes all the best ideas that have been advanced by free-market conservatives over the years."
