Paul Ryan made serious and substantive proposals to save Medicare from bankruptsy and the Democrats, aided & abetted by the MSM, demagogued it and scared seniors. It’ll happen again if Ryan is chosen.
I honestly don't think there is any public policy debate that I would rather have between now and November than a discussion of the future solvency of the Medicare and Social Security programs.
I say bring it on.
The facts are on our side, something must be done, and the 'Rats are at the bottom of a very deep hole having so explicitly denied the existence of a problem for so long.
America has never been more in need of, or more receptive to, arguments that entitlement programs are bankrupt and need to be reformulated. New Jersey, New York, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, San Jose, San Diego, reform is coming. It is wining in legislatures and it is winning at the ballot box. This is what the tea party was founded to promote.
Let us not shrink in fear but rather seize the moment and lead!
