Paul Ryan's reforms save and strengthen Medicare; President's law raids and rations Medicare

[yadig2012]

lol.

[BobbyW3363]

Medicare and Social Security should be abolished. I cannot support any plan that attempts to "save" these horrible programs. Stop looting us, so we can take care of each other peacefully and voluntarily!!!

[SolarEXtract]

Paul Ryan's plan:

Feed the wealthy more. Kill the poor and middle class as quickly as possible.

Eat shit, Mr. Ryan.

[ttube438]

@SolarEXtract Socialist Filth. It's the wealthy that feed the poor. We already have the most progressive income tax in the entire world.

[grizzlyfan41]

@SolarEXtract I agree with you.....except for the last line of your comment! No one should eat that.....

The RyanNoCare plan cuts the top individual and corporate tax rates. The price tag for the Republican proposal is a jaw-dropping $4.2 trillion. Working Americans would have to pick up the tab left unpaid by upper-income households. According to the Center for Tax Justice analysis, even though RyanNoCare features large aggregate tax cuts, ninety percent of Americans would actually pay higher taxes. It cuts middle class benefits and raises middle class taxes in order to cut taxes on the rich.

[ttube438]

@conchf According to the OECD the top 10% in the US already have the highest combined tax rate of $45.1%.. We also have the second highest corporate tax rate in the world. The US debt when Obama took office was $10 Trillion it is now $14 Trillion a 40% increase in just 2 years. Obamas budget adds $1.5 Trillion to the debt every year for the next 10 years or $15 Trilion dollars and will double the debt over 10 years. We need a balanced budget amendment and spending caps.

[conchf]

@ttube438 Swing and a miss. The U.S. has one of the lowest tax rates globally. Many corporations pay NO taxes at all and Americans know this. Living under a rock? You can thank Grand Old sPenders for $12 Trillion defcitis. One of the major components that's driving the deficits is the bush taxSPENDING, I mean tax cuts. The MAJORITY of Americans have said no more borrowing money from China to appease the GoPhreeloaders.

[ttube438]

@conchf Some corporations like Obamas favorite GE pay no income taxes because they spend millions on tax attorneys to mitigate their taxes. You might agree with me that the tax code is a joke, with so many loopholes GE and other big biz can pay zero US taxes. Small biz creates most of the jobs and they pay the highest rate of any country 45%. Fact. Close loopholes and lower taxes for small biz to create jobs and collect monies from big biz like GE. I agree with u all should pay taxes.

[conchf]

@ttube438 Unfortunately, the GOP/TP thinks mega corporations hiding under the guise of small business is actually small business. Do away with that problem. No the tax rate is not 45%, LOL. Small business tax rates depend on the size of that small business.

[conchf]

@ttube438 You might want to take GE's not pay taxes up with their accountants. While your at it, how about tax dodgers like Exxon and the oil companies, the favorities of the Teapublicans.

@UBSCARED OBAMAcare cuts $500 billion from medicare.

[Goldni8372]

UB Obama has decreased drilling permits by 43% (2976 to 1690 per year). Estimates show the drilling moratorium has cost 19K jobs. By the administrations own press release 2009 and 2010 showed a small % increase, but "prod will decline by 2K bpd in 2011 and by 60k bpd in 2012. Because of of prod declines from existing fields and the impact of last year's drilling moratorium and subsequent delays in issuing new drilling permits." That's their own words. The EIA says those predictions are too low.

[Goldni8372]

Remember "shovel ready"?

Mehehe! Obama's a community antagoniser. Nothing more.

[MossieCud]

Paul Ryan is the kind of President we need! Someone who has the guts and conviction to say, do and fight for what's right and what's fair. He is smarter than Obama, has a plan, and listens to his constituents. As a Federal employee, age 65, I have no problem with Paul Ryan's Medicare plan or Paul's ability to be a leader.

[Goldni8372]

Def you are right but comparing 2009 and 2010 statistics, production only rose about 3% and is projected to decline over the next 2 years by 110,000 barrels. Largely due to Obama Gulf drilling moratorium and his admin revoking alot of Bush permits.

[GOPkicksbutt]

Thanks to liberal policies America can no longer afford to pay for medicare, social security, unemployment and many other services. We also need to lower the minimum wage to $2/hr in order to compete with China and bring jobs back home. Fiscally responsible conservatives like Paul Ryan and John Boehner know this and are currently

working to end these wasteful handout programs and bring the minimum wage down so that America can be great again. God bless the GOP!

[Goldni8372]

Natural Gas is up. Domestic oil is down. Way down offshore production. We are typically over 9m bpd. Most if the permits the Obama admin has okd were in the pipeline (no pun) from the Bush admin. Obama has been so obtuse okaying permits the den senator Mary Landraue has been raising heck.

[Goldni8372]

Hmm let me decide my Medicare plan. Or be stuck with one-size fits all Owebamacare.

[Goldni8372]

Domestic oil production is down 18% since Owebama took office.

[DillonDee1]

@Goldni8372-- According to the US government’s Energy Information Administration, domestic Oil and gas production rose 3% in 2010 to an average of 7.51million barrels a day

Some analysts believe the United States was the largest contributor to the increase in oil supplies across the globe in 2010.

[DillonDee1]

@DillonDee1 -- Addaitionally USA oil production in 2012 will increase due to increased Texas production.

It's a myth that oil production is down under Obama.

[SmashMacintosh]

@deficithawker no congress still has to OK the funding for it and then technically IRAQ was legal because there was a resolution. What dwindling oil supplies are you talking about noob oil supplies are not dwindling at all price oil in gold oil is going down in price. Its dollar weakness that is driving up oil

[DillonDee1]

@SmashMacintosh -

OIl was about $150 in 2008 & is now $100 per barrel.

With inflation & unrest in the Mid-East you might think it should be $200 now.

The main reason it is not seems to be increased domestic production as a result of fracking.

[SmashMacintosh]

@DillonDee1 fracking thast natrual gas not oil and obama is doing everything he can to stop fracking therefore it has had no effect on oil prices. It is inflation like i said value oil in gold and its flat

[DillonDee1]

@SmashMacintosh --

Actually fracturing in the NE caused Natural Gas to drop from $15 to $4

But we fracture for oil here in Texas resulting in massive amts of increased oil production

[SmashMacintosh]

@DillonDee1 ya nat gas has dropped not oil but then again ur beloved president is doing everything he can using the EPA to stop production.

[DillonDee1]

@SmashMacintosh -- Oil was $140 per barrel 2 yrs ago but is now $100 per barrel due to increased domestic production

But I will add that if EPA closes down Texas fracturing wells to protect a lizard you will see prices shoot sky high at the pumps

[SmashMacintosh]

@DillonDee1 ya thats what i was talking about the EPA has a regulatory assult on the energy industry

[777mslove]

Paul Ryan wants to stop Medicare but wants to make the Bush tax cuts permanent, he is a total a-shole!

[DillonDee1]

When Ryian says you wont be harmed if you're over 55, what he's really saying is --

If you're under 55 get ready to pull down your pants & bend over.

[Lipsnx4u]

@deficithawker Lol...

[TKDMike58]

Hey PAUL : VOUCHER VOUCHER VOUCHER......your gonna lose

[BlacksAreBeautiful]

I like Paul Ryan, but I just don't believe him on this issue. Not that I think he is lying, but I just have NO FAITH in his models.

[SmashMacintosh]

Paul Ryan should run for president.... one of the only politicians that will actually tell the people the truth.

[mcap52]

@SmashMacintosh You mean like how we are illegally invading foreign countries so that we can control the dwindling oil supplies? How about all the other illegal things we are doing.... is he going to "tell the people the truth"about all of that?

[SmashMacintosh]

@mcap52 Umm actually that is obama doing that is he not the one ordering Libya bombing with no congressional approval and ignoring the war powers resolution. Obama just keeps spending borrowed money thinking we can simply print more money and that will fix are economy no wonder it is tanking its clowns like yourself who think that government is the answer to why are economy is tanking. Paul Ryan is an honest politician unlike ur buddy obama

[kmg501]

The government should NOT at all be involved in medical care issues. I don't care if your plan is better or not. The point is that I am not seeing any phase out of an illegal government program being offered by any establishment Republican. All you people are is a different flavor of statist than the equally fascist Democrats.

[bamatecangel7]

Hairy-Pelosi lied to us about ObamaCare, they lied to us about benefit/costs, lied to us about what was in the bill, lied to get it past the majority of us not wanting it. What doofus would believe anything they have to say now?

[Lipsnx4u]

Sad - when you have an agenda to push - you just can't hear and reason the facts.Then someone - like Paul Ryan has to spell it out for you dhimmies. Who would trust a thief and liar like - Harry Reid - at any rate? Thank you, for posting.
