One of Ryan's largest areas of savings -- $1.4 trillion -- comes from repealing the president's health care plan, a move that the Congressional Budget Office has insisted as recently as January would add $230 billion to the deficit over 10 years. It is not clear where the much larger savings Ryan's plan envisions would be drawn from.

The gap isn't that big. The CBO's figures do not take into account $500 Billion in Medicare cuts that are never going to happen, nor did it take into account the $300 Billion "doc-fix". Add those back to the CBO figures, AS YOU MUST, and the gap is 370B versus the suggested ~1.2 Trillion.

The rest is easily made up by the modifications to the payment rules for Medicare.
