15. Maybe Ryan's too dumb to know when he's lying?

It is not like he wrote that speech. Probably he doesn't know what is and isn't true. Maybe he thinks the budget someone else clearly wrote from him really does balance the budget. He probably informs himself from daily talking memo's, faux news and has the heritage foundation write his policies for him. So I suggest perhaps he is as dumb as he thinks his voting base is.
