Paul Ryan & the Triumph of Math

Luftmensh is a delightful Yiddish word to describe an impractical person who concerns himself with airy intellectual matters and not how to make a living or get things to actually work. I had just decided to make this column on Paul Ryan’s nomination about how facts, in this case mathematics, will beat the fantastical notions of the luftmensh in the White House. Remember, Obama began his term as the spinner of naïve hopes and dreams and as those proved unworkable, became the purveyor of fear, anxiety and outright lies. Once again, however, the great Iowahawk beat me to it with this twitter:

“Paul Ryan represent[s] Obama’s most horrifying nightmare: math.”

Let me remind you how nightmarish Ryan is to Obama. Here’s a six-minute take down of Obamacare by Congressman Ryan.

Watch the vacant look in Obama’s eyes as it becomes clear he has no idea how to respond to the facts Ryan raises, to the math which demonstrates the utter unsustainability of Obama’s legislative scheme.

And then observe how that look in Obama’s eyes turns to rage.

Ryan, a man who does know what’s he’s talking about on the most important issue before us — rescuing the economy from Obama’s mismanagement and getting America back on track — has to be Obama’s worst nightmare.
