Christopher Buskirk, in his not-so-fond farewell to Speaker Paul Ryan (NYT April 13, A27), accurately details the many ways in which Mr. Ryan failed to deliver on his promises and to fulfill his purported potential as a financial policy wonk. Yes, he has left a mess but Mr. Buskirk's remedy is hardly a prescription for redemption. Instead, Mr. Buskirk perceives a need for new leadership that will be in step with the president and his agenda and which will resonate with "the intellectual and political reformation underway on the right".
There is nothing intellectual or reforming about the president's agenda. It is devoid of thought and rife with corruption. Indeed, Mr. Ryan's failings pale in comparison with the alternative chaos promoted by Mr. Buskirk as the saving solution.
