Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) has a history lesson both President-elect Barack Obama and Gov. Steve Beshear would do very well to pay attention to: "Important lessons on our current crisis can be drawn from Japan’s “lost decade” in the 1990s, where deeply flawed policy responses lead to a protracted period of stagnation. In the early 1990s, Japan experienced a sharp economic slowdown resulting from...

THE CÔTE d'Azur is better positioned than most places to weather the global financial crisis, according to a recent seminar held there by French real estate surveyors JHP Valuation, says Paul Ryan of World Homes Investments. Although the market there is slowing down, it is still outperforming other regions in France, partly because it is protected by foreign investors.

Today, Paul Ryan has a wonderfully written op-ed in the Journal Times . It is filled with magnificent prose that talks about the dangers of government bailouts, poor fiscal policy, and increasing federal deficits.

If you were upset by Paul Ryan's $700 Billion dollar boondoggle of a bailout bill, then brace yourself. That was just a down payment... the real bailout may be ten times that amount : The U.S. government is prepared to lend more than $7.4 trillion on behalf of American taxpayers, or half the value of everything produced in the nation last year, to rescue the financial system since the credit markets...

THE WASHINGTON Post did a list of the top 10 Republicans 'to watch' earlier this week. I agree with putting Thune and Jindal at the top of the list, although omitting Wisconsin's Paul Ryan I think is a mistake.

...at whether Congressman Paul Ryan is putting his money where his mouth is ...or putting it somewhere else. Like the coffers of the Big Three. Mentioned increasingly as a rising star in the GOP as of late, I see his shine growing rather dim if he continues on this path.

Rep. Paul Ryan was on CNBC Money (Charter 67) Wednesday morning to discuss the apparent shift in former Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson's focus on which troubled assets the U.S. treasury will purchase regarding the misguided and poorly written bail-out plan to buy troubled assets. Besides answering the questions with little to no new information during the discussion, Ryan as usual raised his partisan...
