Perhaps Mitt instisted on Ryan despite the consequences. That
wouldn't be surprising given his willingness to take any position
necessary to please the present audience. It's not like they didn't
know Ryan would be kryptonite for the elderly in Florida.

------------------------------------------------------

I'd save this comment for future reference jps.

Assuming any of Ryan's plans regarding Medicare, Medicaid or Social
Security were ever enacted, none of the elderly in Florida (or anywhere
else for that matter) would be affected at all.

The "elderly" ... and I include myself as a "young" elderly ... can
understand that programs like Medicare and even Social Security have to
be modified from time to time ... as they have been ... in order to
adjust for changing times. Medicare as a program is what, 47 years
old ... yet has been modified many times.



We actually have no way to tell what might happen to Medicare, Medicaid
or Social Security or when if the ultra conservatives like Ryan are put
in charge.
--------------------------------------------

Maybe. But we certainly know what will happen to them if nothing is done.




No one rational is denying that we need a better, more efficient way to
deliver health services to all of those who need them. The Republican
way seems to be to first **** over those who need the health services
and cut back even more on what remains of our social safety net *and*
hand over even bigger tax cuts to the wealthy. Part of Ryan's budget
plans, for example, would lower the tax rate of people like Romney to
nearly zero.

Sorry, there's no reason to trust or even consider plans from extremists
like Ryan.

BTW, is it true that in 14 years in congress, he's gotten two bills
passed and one was to rename a post office?
