High Praise for Ryan from...Erskine Bowles?

Have any of you all met Paul Ryan? We should get him to come to the university. I'm telling you, this guy is amazing. I always thought I was okay at arithmetic, this guy can run circles around me. And he is honest, he is straightforward, he is sincere. And the budget he came forward with is just like Paul Ryan. It is a sensible, straightforward, honest, serious budget, and it cut the budget deficit, just like we did, by $4 trillion. The president came out with his own plan. And, the president as you remember, came out with a budget. And I don't think anybody took that budget very seriously. The Senate voted against it 97-to-nothing (September 8, 2011).
Note: According to Wikipedia (yes, sometimes I refer to Wikipedia!), Erskine Bowles is “best known for his appointment in 2010 as the Democratic co-chair of President Obama’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform with Alan K. Simpson.”
