GOP Sen. Scott Brown (Mass.) said Monday he won't support Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) budget when it comes up for a vote in the Senate.
Brown, a centrist who is running for reelection in 2012, said that Ryan's plan helped jumpstart a necessary debate, but that Ryan's Medicare reforms go too far.
"While I applaud Ryan for getting the conversation started, I cannot support his specific plan — and therefore will vote 'no' on his budget," he wrote in a Politico op-ed.
"Our country is on an unsustainable fiscal path," he added. "But I do not think it requires us to change Medicare as we know it. We can work inside of Medicare to make it more solvent."

Your useful time has passed.
“Our country is on an unsustainable fiscal path...But I do not think it requires us to change Medicare as we know it.”
That means he thinks Medicare as we know it is “sustainable,” which means no one has to listen to him ever again.
“Oh really? Then show us the plan Scotty. Show us how you can do this. Or is this all just political posturing?”
I was going to say something like unless his plan is to scrap defense and Social Security to pay for it, but I don’t think even that’s enough to save Medicare.
yep, it is time for y’all to get a team together, go up there and get real, true-blue conservatives elected! Do it. Maybe start with a few of the congressmen in the Boston suburbs. Don’t come back ‘til you got the job done. (See ya in 70 years.)

New York is not part of New England...
Yes I know, but it is the center of the center of the universe. Or so they think. That is the reason I included it.
