Paul Ryan booed by constituents at town hall meeting

[mudwhistle]

Keep in mind, these GOP'ers who want to put seniors at the mercy of private for-profit insurance companies are also the same GOP'ers who want to repeal the healthcare bill...


...you know, the bill that stopped insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions,

or kicking people off their insurance after they got sick...

But I guess that's no big deal, because who ever heard of a person over 65 with a pre-existing condition,

or a person over 65 who ever got really sick??

Question. It's been over a year since passage of Obamacare.

Who got their free health care so far?


Nobody.

Guess how many insurance companies stopped selling health insurance.

A shitload.

Even Paul Ryan's own constituents don't buy his BS. Of course, this is not surprising given the fact that a majority of Americans, including Republicans, oppose the GOP's proposed tax cuts for the rich and their plan to privatize Medicare.

I heard nobody boo.

I saw a guy reading a prepared text asking a question that sounded like one of Obama's speeches.

This video was too brief to say ether way what was going on other then some guy was reading a question off of a document.

No boos. I couldn't understand what Ryan said that cause everyone to say something, but it wasn't boos.

Thinkprogress btw is a Progressive blog site.

It's horseshit.

You didn't hear any boos because your fingers were in your ears and you were saying, "LALALALALALALALALA I can't hear you LALALALALALALA"

They weren't booing, they were chanting Paul!! Paul!!

That's consistent with the rest of your idiocy.

The polls are overwhelmingly against Ryan's nonsensical plan.

That's consistent with the rest of your idiocy.


The American people are sick and tired of the taxing and spending going on in DC. We need cuts, VERY DEEP CUTS!

Are you polling now? What percent of Americans want to see Medicare as we know it disappear?

I'm all for it...Do away away with it once and for all. Along with welfare.

Just create two national charities to fund both. Let the people choose if they want to contribute, or not......We are a very charitable nation. No doubt that plenty would be contributed to fund both.

Enough of this BS of them trying to confiscate wealth to fund their lazy ass entitlement programs. It isn't their god damn money in the first place!

Do you dispute that the Republicans want to repeal the healthcare bill?

Do you dispute that that would contribute to making seniors extremely uninsurable?

Because there wasn't any 'rest of the post' there when I quoted it, you mentally handicapped turnip.

Personally, I am pretty excited about the Ryan plan and the GOP "tax breaks for the rich" mentality. I hope the GOP stays the course and continues the push this agenda.

Tax the rich! Polls show a majority want to tax millionaires, leave Medicare, Medicaid alone : The Reid Report

yeah, because we all know you Liberals are always for the Party first and foremost and the Country is somewhere done the line.

I wonder why we let it get out of control during the Bush years. Clinton had eliminated the deficit and we were on our way to debt reduction. It was part spending cuts and partially raising taxes.

I just don't like these Republicans getting hold of what has been a safety net for people. I really don't think they know what they are doing. Let them address it another way.

The only way to save Social Security and Medicare is get it out of the hands of Congress.

Bush tried to do that several years ago and failed.

And the Dems cheered.

The way to save it is to create millions of jobs that will in turn create revenue.

Do you think the purpose of business is to create jobs?

Right now everyone is gonna take a hit. As in lose every thing if we don't deal with this now.

hello. he didn't eliminate the deficit, for god sakes, he balanced the budget and he did that by using SS money. BUT, he did, with help manage the fisc better than the last 2.

so what are your suggestions?

From Factcheck:

Q: During the Clinton administration was the federal budget balanced? Was the federal deficit erased?


A: Yes to both questions, whether you count Social Security or not.
This chart, based on historical figures from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, shows the total deficit or surplus for each fiscal year from 1990 through 2006. Keep in mind that fiscal years begin Oct. 1, so the first year that can be counted as a Clinton year is fiscal 1994. The appropriations bills for fiscal years 1990 through 1993 were signed by Bill Clinton's predecessor, George H.W. Bush. Fiscal 2002 is the first for which President George W. Bush signed the appropriations bills, and the first to show the effect of his tax cuts.

Raise taxes on the rich and cut spending, bring the troops home and look at the defense budget, concentrate on foreign spending, not so much on domestic spending.

I don't dispute they want to repeal the healthcare bill.

But what does the health care bill have to do with seniors now?

Obama was planning on taking $400 billion from their Medicare. He laid it out very clearly.

The purpose of business in a capitalistic society is to supply demand and make a tidy profit. Rich people don't create jobs. Demand creates a need for jobs. If no one has any money, there is no demand, then no jobs, then no business. Companies end up fighting over left over markets. Heating oil, food, basic clothing. Just the basics.
