And Romney has disowned it, while forbidding Ryan to discuss it.

What is the single most important thing that can be done to fix the U.S. budget deficit? Harvard economist Jeff Miron says the answer is clear: cut entitlements. Miron explains that as currently structured, the costs of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will continue to grow rapidly, eclipsing all other U.S. spending in the next couple of decades. Miron argues that without making cuts to these programs, there is no hope of getting spending under control.

Isn't Romney pledging to raise Medicare spending by $716 billion over the next decade?

Rhetorical question: the answer is yes.

No.

The 716 billion is the sum obama is taking from Medicare to fund obamacare.

Social Security, medicaid and medicare are paltry compared to welfare, support for social programs and government unions.

Seeing what our military has done to other countries since world war 2, the word defense is a joke and should be changed to offense, or just War, what the Defense Dept. used to be called, the War Dept. Surely don't cut "defense", too many have gotten rich on it and want to continue to do so.

it is from the short bus vein of the worlds economists.

the austrian school.

They are a small minority

Truth doesn't depend on how many people accept it as truth.

BTW, he wasn't speaking economics, just math and there is only one school on that subject. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, and the interest on the national debt, dwarf spending in all other areas of government, with the exception of Defense.

most economists know the austrian school is wackadoddle.

why? because you dont agree with it? tell us why instead of attacking everything? facts are facts.

I dont think they even know I exsist you fool.

That is the facts of the economics world.

Most economists believe the austrian school is WRONG!


that means most economic experts think the theory is deeply flawed

 

[Truthmatters]

why do you accept what most experts say is deeply flawed?

because you are a partisan dupe

 

[Katzndogz]

that is a lie.

It comes from not paying the doctors.

The hard part has already been done.

The stimulus worked and reversed the job loss. It was an uphill battle.

It doesn't matter who gets elected now, the economy will continue to improve.

And reopen ing the donut hole. Anybody who thinks Republicans want to save Medicare or SS aren't just fooling themselves, they are dangerously deluded.

So where did this $716 billion ‘benefit cut’ come from? It’s actually the amount budget officials estimate Medicare will increase over then next decade if the health care law is repealed. So critics have turned that around to claim the new law ‘cuts’ that amount from seniors.

But you may wondering – what is the difference between a cut and savings? That’s where the law comes in, trying to reduce overpayments to private insurance companies and other providers while increasing actual benefits to seniors under traditional Medicare.

What critics aren’t saying is that much of the savings under the new law comes from a reduction in the amount that taxpayers pay private insurance companies to run Medicare Advantage programs for seniors.

These private Medicare insurance plans cover about one in four beneficiaries, and were created as a ‘market-based’ solution in hopes of driving down costs by having insurers compete with each other. But that’s not what happened. Today, private Medicare Advantage plans cost taxpayers and those who pay Part B premiums at least $1,000 more per beneficiary than providing traditional government-run Medicare to the same person.

btw ... Medicare Advantage was a Rep private insurance idea.

Harvard Economist makes it clear that the Romney-Ryan plan is the ONE that will fix our fiscal crisis:

actually, since Ryan Romney is really the same as Bush Cheney, i'm not seeing how the polici,es that got us INTO this mess are going to get us out.


"More Tax cuts for rich people!"

Can you show me where Romney/Ryan have the same policies as Bush/Cheney?? Or is this just a repeat of the crazy left wing media??

Did you read the Romney/Ryan plan?? I didn't think so.

He's hired a whole passel of old Bush folks. Something like 17 out of 24 foreign policy advisors are former Bush neocon hawks.

How will his policies differ would be an easier question. I see no difference.

The ACA took those savings and put them back into Senior's care so that not only is there no loss in benefits to the senior, things like annual check-up co-pays and screenings are paid for. All this in addition to closing the donut hole AND extending the life of Medicare.

Over the short term, yes..it will improve. But in terms of sustainable growth? Re-introducing the ideas Bush used 14 years ago will get us deeper into the same crisis we experienced 4 years ago.

No thanks.
