You are being cautious....good! So am I. We will get the usual “jump on the Ryan Bandwagon” FReepers.

I think it's likely that the left will be able to use the new Ryan budget proposal to their advantage.

Wasserman-Schultz: "It is a Republican path to poverty that would pass like a tornado through America’s nursing homes where millions of America’s seniors receive long-term and end-of-life care."

I think there may be stroke victims that would have problems paying for nursing care (unable to find a private plan that paid for it) under the Ryan plan, although it's not in the form of a bill. But I think Wasserman-Schultz seems to be ignoring the fact that last year Sebelius cancelled the long term care feature if Obamacare "CLASS" because even she admitted it was a financial loser.

This is what worries me: If the GOP can never do anything about entitlements because Dems will use it against them, how can we avoid becoming Greece?

RE :” I think there may be stroke victims that would have problems paying for nursing care (unable to find a private plan that paid for it) under the Ryan plan, although it's not in the form of a bill

She is talking about the Ryan block-grand proposal of Medicaid which pays for nursing home bills for those with no $$$. Those places are a pretty grim situation even now.

RE :”I think it's likely that the left will be able to use the new Ryan budget proposal to their advantage.

That is pretty easy to do.

I still remember Ryan last year getting heat after the vote and he said :” It's not a budget. It's just a proposal. It's just putting an idea on the table for a talking point start ”.

I don't see anywhere where Ryan has changed that Dem argument against into his favor against them.
