You know Darren, if you would have told me twenty-five years ago that some day I'd be standing here about to solve the world's energy problems, I would've said you're crazy... Now let's push this giant ball of oil out the window.

One of the many fantasy world items contained in the Paul Ryan alternative GOP budget plan is his assumption, which is based entirely on a right wing think tank's word, that unemployment is going to drop to 2.9%.

That would be great wouldn't it?  Just one thing is a little off with that scenario.  There's no chance of that ever happening.

Creating false assumptions based entirely on a make-believe world is exactly what the GOP does.  In their world, 51% is a mandate.  When their president has a 25% approval rating it means he's a strong leader that doesn't pay attention to the polls.  When they triple the national debt and get another two terms at the presidency and double the debt again, they call themselves fiscal conservatives. When they inherit the largest surplus in history and turn it into a $1.4 trillion deficit, they label themselves as deficit hawks.  It was just two years ago these people introduced a numberless budget and claimed it would balance the budget and shrink the deficit.  There's really no end to their insanity.
