Today's lunch between Paul Ryan and President Barack Obama raises lots of questions, including this one: Did the Wisconsin representative thank Obama for helping him balance the federal budget within 10 years?
It's not likely, but he probably should have. After all, Ryan's budget is expected to achieve balance largely by banking on many of the policies Obama championed -- including Medicare savings from Obamacare and tax revenues raised during last year's fiscal cliff deal.
