Questions for Congressman Paul Ryan

by Rossputin | 6:39 am, September 1, 2010 | Comments Off

Sometime soon, I hope to interview (for Backbone Radio) Wisconsin Republican Congressman Paul Ryan who, whether you agree with every detail of his “Roadmap for America’s Future” or not, is undoubtedly the most budget-savvy member of Congress.  He is also quite likely to be Chairman of the House Budget Committee starting in January after the GOP regains a majority in the House of Representatives.

Paul is a dedicated family man, the main reason why I’d bet a lot of money that he will not run for president in 2012, and he reserves his Sundays for his family whenever possible.

Therefore, my radio interview with him will be recorded prior to a show and then played during the show.

Since the interview won’t be live, my listeners won’t have the opportunity to call in to ask questions of Congressman Ryan.

Therefore, I’d like to ask any of you who have questions to e-mail them to me or post them as comments to this note.  I will select from among the questions offered based on what I think are the most interesting and important questions.  I’m not looking for softball questions, but instead thoughtful and relevant questions regarding our nation’s fiscal and economic situation and what are likely to be the most successful (or least successful) parts of a plan to get us back on a road to economic prosperity.

I hope Paul does run for president some day.  Although his voting record isn’t perfect, he would be the first Republican I could whole-heartedly support since Ronald Reagan – and I do not intend that as hyperbole.
