I have a problem with the focus on the politics here. From what i've heard, Ryan has some good policy ideas and these articles are telling me jack squat about them. Just that "dems should be scared", which is pretty useless to me.

The Democrats should be scared of Ryan, Gerson writes: Not only is he one of their greatest long-term threats, his plan represents the best alternative to their vision of government spending. The Democrats favor the security of a large welfare state while Ryan's plan helps the poor and does far more to foster enterprise and independence. Both sides make good arguments, Gerson writes, but the advocates of security over personal responsibility have a problem: "They are on a path to economic ruin"
