Paul Ryan - Not even a good liar.

Made it more efficient and not touched the funding?

LOL! why?

Because..... It is underfunded.

Moron.

It's underfunded? How'd you arrive at that conclusion?

Never have I heard a Republican so stridently argue for increasing Medicare spending.

Wow. You are as shockingly uninformed as you are dishonest. :

'Since taking office, President Obama has overseen a Medicare cash-flow deficit of more than $869 billion. This includes $570.7 billion in red ink accumulated since the passage of the president’s signature health-care law, which siphoned off $732 billion in Medicare funding over the next ten years. By the end of 2012, the trustees project that the Obama administration will have overseen a $1.2 trillion Medicare cash shortfall.

Left unchanged, Medicare costs will continue to escalate, leading to annual shortfalls and a projected cash-flow deficit of over $450 billion in 2020. These shortfalls lie at the heart of past and future deficits. Between 2001 and 2010, cumulative Medicare cash-flow deficits totaled $1.5 trillion, or almost 28.5 percent of the total federal debt accumulated in the hands of the public during the past decade.'
