You may well be right on the merits, but I don't think you can win an election with this argugment. As you note, "Ron Paul has been trying to explain this for years , and no one listens."
That's the problem. No one listens. The mainstream, liberal media sets the news agenda for all the regional newspapers and TV. They are never going to give Romney and Ryan a fair shot. Most voters' eyes glaze over at the mention of numbers. They recoil in horror if presented tough choices. They vote on gut feel for the most part. They get it from the media, increasingly from what some dimwit celebrity says or when they sense a bandwagon forming. Most voters want to be part of that.
The problem with Ryan is that he takes the focus off where it should be, on Obama's record of failure and his far left policies. Romeny and Ryan are going to spend the time between now and the election protesting that they don't want to cut medicare to give tax cuts to billionaires. And let's face it, Ryan lacks charisma and presence. He looks and talks like a staff guy, not a potential president.
