Paul Ryan is chairman of the House Budget Committee, an
unofficial but influential member of the House Republican leadership,
and a loyal ally of Speaker John Boehner. As such, he is counseling
“prudence” in dealing with President Obama, which he defines as
“choosing your fights wisely and not fighting for the sake of fighting.”
Ryan is also the GOP’s dominant voice on domestic policy.
That includes everything from spending, taxes, and entitlements to
antipoverty initiatives. Having been Mitt Romney’s vice presidential
running mate, Ryan is now one of the most sought-after Republicans for
speeches, TV appearances, and fundraising. In this role—and possibly as a
presidential candidate in 2016—he is expected to be bold, exciting, and
forward-looking. That is, anything but prudent.
