Ryan, on the other hand, is getting shouted down by liberals simply because he has had the courage to propose reforms to entitlement programs that EVERYONE should know have to be fixed or they will overwhelm our ability to pay for them in about a decade.
Some folks aren't taking kindly to the House passing legislation to end Medicare? How unpredictable.
At least he's got most of the public on his side:
By a margin of 57 percent to 34 percent, poll respondents say they would be worse off if Ryans plan to convert Medicare to a system of subsidized private health coverage were adopted. Fifty-eight percent of independents, a critical voting bloc in recent elections, say they would be worse off.
Whoops. There goes the appeal to poll-driven policy. Why are Republicans ignoring the voters?!
I hate when people don't know how the system is supposed to work so they say something rhetorical and think they sound smart. Usually it doesn't work out that way. Don't worry though, you're no different.
