the intro sentance should have a direct link to the pdf at the bottom of the page - it should be crystal clear as to what the actual text of the ryan plan is. I emphasize this because on the web, and in the news media, the actual text of stuff, particulalry stuff from DC, is often hard to find. Cinnamon colbert ( talk) 02:44, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
The article offers only a passing mention of the proposal itself, while Democrat criticism represents the bulk of the content. Article needs more detail about the specific goals and provisions of the initiative, and Republican commentary balanced to Dem opposition. Lionel ( talk) 23:19, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
what income tax rates does Paul propose ? it should be clearer in the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.151.0.13 ( talk) 02:49, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
Could we get more information about the tax changes? It's only one line about one of the most debated parts of the plan. It mentions reducing the rate and getting rid of certain deductions, credits and subsidies, but not which ones. Deductions, credits and subsidies are a very wide variety. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.161.31 ( talk) 04:12, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
Isn't premium support payments just ''newspeak'' for vouchers. The CBO considers his plan to be vouchers. In previous proposals, such as the Roadmap for America proposal, Ryan advocates Medicare vouchers. In his 2012 budget proposal, he just replaces the word voucher with premium support payments. Nursebhayes ( talk) 23:09, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
This section has what politicians are saying on cable news stations, which is pretty poor standard for actual debate over the policy. There's a lot of economist backlash on this plan which is unstated here. Pardon my frankness, but who cares what Steny Hoyer and Eric Cantor say in soundbytes or slightly longer chat. The budget plan has many economic predictions baked in that have been shown either highly unlikely or outright wrong by all modern economic theory. For instance, the unemployment rate falling below 3%. Krugman and many many others have pointed these things out, and this article needs to contain those viewpoints in more than a watered-down "he thinks it's not fair" way. Kismetjim ( talk) 04:07, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Something seems to be wrong with the image. It just won't appear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ItCanHappen ( talk • contribs) 23:43, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I've updated this article to include details about Ryan's budget proposal for 2013, titled The Path to Prosperity: A Blueprint for American Renewal. There's now a section that focuses on this new version of the budget proposal, outlining a basic overview of the proposal's aims. I've also drafted up a short paragraph with some commentary from
The Heritage Foundation and the
Center for American Progress. As I work for Heritage, and the material I've put together uses Heritage as a source, I'd like to run this by other editors rather than adding it directly. If you think this is appropriate, can you please add it to the end of the new "Blueprint for American Renewal" section? Thanks,

I think we need a section for the Paul Ryan "Roadmap" Plan which was essentially a more ambitious version of the Path to Prosperity. Among other things it would do the Path plan as well as privatize social security. It was covered in the New Yorker profile which seems absent from this article. CartoonDiablo ( talk) 05:40, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
See the below recent article from the Economist on lowering the corporate income tax rate and the impacts of closing loopholes on imports/exports and the value of the dollar. It would probably need one or two more similar reliable sources to back up the claims, but I don't see anything yet in the article on "border adjustment" claims.
