Romney Names Paul Ryan as His Running Mate

Governor Romney, on Saturday, announced that he was selecting House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) as his running mate.

Chairman Ryan has been a leader on the issue of debt reduction, tax reform, and entitlement reform for years; and we are hopefully that his addition to the ticket will help ensure that fixing the national debt will be a central issue in this campaign. This election needs to be about both sides presenting their best ideas to bring the debt under control, but also showing a willingness to compromise after the election on a bipartisan plan to replace the fiscal cliff with a credible, intelligent, gradual, and comprehensive plan to put the debt on a sustainable path.

As our readers continue to learn more about Congressman Ryan, we have compiled many of the past blogs, papers, and press releases which we've written about the Chairman and his plans.
