- Ryan said Obamas proposal to let tax rates rise for high-income individuals would tax about 53 percent of small-business income. Wrong. Ryan is counting giant hedge funds and thousands of other multimillion-dollar enterprises as small businesses.
- Ryan was wrong when he said a rise in the jobless rate in Bidens hometown was how its going all around America. The rate nationally has sunk back to where it was when Obama took office. And in Ryans hometown, its more than 4 percentage points lower that it was at the start of Obamas term.
- Ryan claimed the Obama administration spent stimulus money on electric cars in Finland. Not true. Although the cars have been assembled in Finland, the money went for work in the United States.
- Ryan misquoted a Medicare official as saying one out of six hospitals and nursing homes are going to go out of business as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Not quite. The official said that many could become unprofitable, and the the situation could be monitored to head off bad outcomes.
- Ryan claimed that the ACA contains taxpayer funding of abortion. In fact the law provides no direct funding of abortion except in cases of rape or incest or to save the mothers life. And its a matter of interpretation whether subsidized private insurance would amount to indirect federal support for abortion.
- Ryan was off base when he said of a cost-saving panel created by the Affordable Care Act, not one of them even has to have medical training. Actually, the board must include physicians and other health care professionals among its members.
Keep the list going, these scumbags will never even get a tour of the White House.
