Paul Ryan should debate Rob Zerban already
Paul Ryan has been so busy campaigning with Mitt Romney that he seems to have forgotten he’s also on the ballot in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District. His Democratic challenger, Rob Zerban, has been trying to get Paul Ryan to debate him, to no avail. According to The Shepherd Express, Paul Ryan is full of excuses. Ryan even told Zerban to wait until he made it through his primary- and Zerban didn’t have a Democratic opponent. Perhaps Ryan has been stalling on the debate because he doesn’t want voters to get a chance to know who Rob Zerban really is?
...
Now Zerban wants to give back: “Because I was able to get my education with the help of the government,I was able to live my version of the American dream. In 2008 I sold my last business,and since then I’ve dedicated my life to public service. I want to make sure that everybody has economic opportunity in this country,not just the wealthy and the well connected.”
And he’s got plans for Social Security and health care. (Republicans love plans!): “Social Security is an easy fix. I support eliminating the cap. There’s a cap on wages above $110,000—you don’t pay Social Security after that. If you eliminate that cap altogether,you fix the Social Security problem.
My proposal for Medicaid and Medicare is to have Medicare for all. I say that not because I want to rehash all of the debate over the Affordable Care Act. But as a small-business owner,insurance was the second-largest expense I had,next to my payroll. I saw my rates go up year after year to the tune of 10%,15%,at times 18%. So we had one industry cannibalizing my profits. I would have gladly paid a higher contribution into Medicare and have my employees take advantage of it now. Because if you increase the size of the risk pool and include more people and adjust the contributions to make it solvent,you’re done.
Rob Zerban will likely not get a chance to debate Paul Ryan, which is too bad.
But you can support Rob's campaign against Ryan!!!

(note: adding "already" to a sentence such as this headline is a colloquialism common in the southeast part of Wisconsin, but I don't recall hearing it many other places.)
