diet of opinion instead of fact. Also, hopefully Wisconsin will be awake enough to see through what Paul Ryan considers entitlement spending. Paul wants to means test medicare, raise retirement age. These are two sustainable proposal he has for our budget. What a drop in the bucket. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVsRbYIWKgY

"Paul Ryan's is one of Wall Street's most devoted partisans on Capitol Hill, a veritable lobbyist inside Congress for all of their interests. Teabaggers don't like politicians who voted for the irresponsible Bush bank bailouts? Ryan didn't only vote for it-- twice-- as a high ranking member of Ways and Means and Banking Committee, the he persuaded dozens of reluctant GOP colleagues to vote for it and after it failed the first time, is said to have been the key figure in passing it the second time a week later!"http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/paul-ryans-sick-privatization-scheme-ma

I wonder why he gives so much attention to removing the safety net for the working class, but not for removing the tax cuts that are destroying the bottom line in this country? If this Republican gang wants the "real meat" in entitlement programs, they should start with those given to the top. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7ZQe-LI0lE&feature=channel

"The implicit premise is that we have to screw ordinary people–or at least make them bear a high degree of risk–in order to save the government budget. But what is the government budget? It’s a pile of money that we contribute and that our representatives are supposed to spend on things we can’t buy for ourselves individually. I know that those representatives make mistakes, are borderline corrupt, etc. But Medicare is exactly the kind of program that we want government to provide–a program that shifts risk from individuals to the government, and thereby the country as a whole–and that’s why it’s so popular.

Other countries manage to keep their citizens healthy at a much lower cost than we do. They don't have to dismantle their social insurance programs to do it. Why should we?" http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2010/02/paul-ryans-budget

Paul Ryan's road map for the future will lead us back into the ditch..... And if this business man, Johnson, is getting his inspiration from Ryan, he too will follow the road into the ditch....
