Paul Ryan: Measuring poverty


Could common sense come back into fashion?

Drudge has this up:
WSJ:
Vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan will take the stage on Wednesday evening at the Republican National Convention, bringing his message about the need to drastically shrink the size of the federal government and overhaul the social safety net to a prime-time audience.

The House Budget Committee chairman, who has delivered a much needed shot of energy to the campaign since being named as Mitt Romney's running mate earlier this month, is likely to spell out his vision of the role of government, drawing sharp contrast with that of the Obama administration.

Mr. Ryan is a superstar among conservative activists of the Republican party, but many Democrats were cheered by Mr. Romney's decision to add him to the ticket as they think they can make political gains on the back of Mr. Ryan's plan to radically reduce domestic spending programs.
