Ryan self-contradicts on Meet the Press.

I had to write this down.  Paul Ryan contradicted himself thrice on Meet the Press this morning.

First, he said that we have a debt crisis, then he later said that he was trying to avoid a debt crisis.  He then followed up by saying that Republicans were trying to avoid austerity spending cuts -- note that he proposed to cut the deficit in 10 years, which is even shorter than any previous budget that he submitted.  Finally, he insisted that Republicans were trying to avoid the sequester cuts, except of course, Republicans actually endorse the sequester cuts!

No wonder he's a politician.
