Heh.

I don't think Ryan is putting forth his budget plan for political gain, though. It's the sort of long-term focus, short-term pain plan that makes voters unhappy.

You seem to have picked certain points out of the larger lists to make a point, but I don't understand the inclusion of this one. Why would he vote to redeploy troops out of Iraq in the middle of the surge? IIRC, that bill was a political device pushed by the Left that everyone understood had no chance of passage.
