I'm doing no such thing.
What I'm doing is accepting the premise proffered by scaremonger Marxist twirps like you, that the Ryan plan (or any other idea that deviates from expansion upon the status quo for that matter) will "destroy Medicare as we know it"....To which I say: "So, what's the downside?"
I know you accept that premise; that's what I've been saying. You and I share the same understanding of the GOP budget ("Under the Ryan plan, I'm one of the ones who will pretty much end up eating all the taxes paid in and I'm totally good with it.")
The point of disagreement here, since you seem desperate to find one, is that I oppose that plan because it dismantles Medicare, whereas from your point of view that's clearly a key asset of the proposal. There are flashes where it seems like you're the only one on the far right willing to be honest about his policy preferences; then you spend post after post lamely attempting to walk back what you've said. If you want to present your personal views as hypotheticals, why not start every post "So I've got this friend that thinks..." ?
Anyway, here we are on page 6 of the thread and no one in Ryan's corner has yet bothered to try and defend the GOP budget or explain why it's good policy (your "hypothetical" rhetorical questions don't quite count), although at least peach attempted to start sketching out an argument. That seems to be a recurring theme in these threads.
