Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has the answer to the fiscal impasse -- and it's simply "for the president to come to the table," he wrote in a Tuesday Wall Street Journal opinion piece,

Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, accused President Barack Obama of giving Congress "the silent treatment." He said Obama and leaders of both parties have negotiated on budget issues before, and it would be in everyone's best interest to do it again.

Ryan wrote that his ideas were reasonable to solve the impasse:

This isn't a grand bargain. For that, we need a complete rethinking of government's approach to helping the most vulnerable, and a complete rethinking of government's approach to health care. But right now, we need to find common ground. We need to open the federal government. We need to pay our bills today -- and make sure we can pay our bills tomorrow. So let's negotiate an agreement to make modest reforms to entitlement programs and the tax code.

While Ryan touted his recommendations as "bipartisan" and aligned with Obama's ideas, he failed to address the elephant in the room:
