Their slashing the budget is going to create jobs & bring unemployment down to 4%????

From Time Magazine:

--Paul Ryan rolls out his 2012 budget + entitlement reform + tax reform package today with a Journal op-ed, press conference and midday speech at the American Enterprise Institute. He's billing it as a "path to prosperity," and citing some mighty, um, optimistic numbers from the conservative Heritage Foundation:
A study just released by the Heritage Center for Data Analysis projects that The Path to Prosperity will help create nearly one million new private-sector jobs next year, bring the unemployment rate down to 4% by 2015, and result in 2.5 million additional private-sector jobs in the last year of the decade. It spurs economic growth, with $1.5 trillion in additional real GDP over the decade. According to Heritage's analysis, it would result in $1.1 trillion in higher wages and an average of $1,000 in additional family income each year.

5. His numbers are from the Heritage Foundation

It is instructive to note that this is the same Heritage Foundation that predicted unprecedented prosperity in the wake of the Bush tax cuts and the launching of two invasions. Not exactly economic whizzes at Heritage. It is a bit strange, though, that Time magazine and the sources they link to appear completely ignorant of the Heritage Foundation's terrible track record. Wyizzat, I wonders?
