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.

But no modification would leave people out in the cold as much as
Ryan's would. Vouchers would undoubtedly come up short and with
medical care costing what it does, many seniors would be forced into
bankruptcy while Ryan give "job creators" even bigger tax breaks.

Everyone understands the Republican's love of wealth and most
understand trickle down hasn't and won't work. Supply side economics
is bull****.

Both Romney and Ryan come from privileged upbringings, as is amply
evident in their both having 7.1 channel surround sound tin ears.

If the Dems have a clue, they'll position them as tools of the rich,
with little understanding or regard for people who didn't hit the
sperm/egg jackpot.
