Paul Ryan's Plan Is Dead on Arrival

Medicare reform is too politically risky for Republicans

Reader Comments

Back to argument

Romney created the first working model of Obamacare and now rails against it. Ryan has voted for every bank bailout, oil subsidy, Bush expansion of Medicare, highway bill (not surprising since he owes his inherited fortune to gov road work), ear mark for his district, voted against duties on imports to protect jobs from unfair trading (China), he argued for Keynesian deficit spending during the Bush era (on the floor of the house-Cspan) and now he’ll “protect jobs” and is a "deficit hawk"? When you compare their past votes to their recent plans, how can anyone feel that comfortable with play put forth for a Romney presidency?

PS: Obama isn't going to have his face on Mt Rushmore or given an award for living up to his campaign rhetoric, but I haven't got a clue what the Romney/Ryan team would do once in office.

Riding the masses too hard for prosperity of the few will be disastrous.
