Paul Ryan, do you believe what you say?

Watching Paul Ryan (T) IL, this morning on Meet the Press, I just have 1 question for you? Do you actually believe what you said today? You stated that the Greece crisis showed how raising taxes is bad for the European Economy, but that's not true. Austerity measures called for taxes to be raised, but at the same time, current government expenditures to be cut. Who wants that. And the United States budget doesn't need both to happen at the same time. You also said that we have a stagnant economy. This is wrong, as private-sector jobs have gone increased for the last 26 months. And when talking about Social Security, you stated that the next President will have to deal with it, while the money will be there for another 17 years at a minimum. Were you talking about Medicare and I misheard (and I don't record the show to verify, sorry)? Even that can be paid for another 10 years with no changes in policies. So, Rep. Ryan, do you believe in what you said, or are you just lying to the American people?
