Partial Transcript:
Katrina Vanden Heuvel: Competition is at the heart of America. To deny Americans competition by denying them the option of a public plan seems to me to be un-American.
Paul Ryan: Whats weird about that line right there, Katrina, is that I know you and others are very much in favor of a single-payer plan, which is obviously to deny competition and have the government run it all. Whats concerning about this debate with me is that youre using capitalist rhetoric to try and move a plan that is inherently anti-market. The problem is that the facts tell us this: A public plan option quickly becomes a government-run monopoly.The actuaries are telling us is that in a few short years, the public plan option displaces the private sector, employers dump their employees on the public plan, and then they have no choices but the public plan. And so, lets not try to sell a government-run plan using free market rhetoric. Lets have an honest debate about what this bill is all about.

If only life was as nice & neat as you delusion it to be. The economy is not to be defined by the limitations or not of widgets & bread. It is better defined by the availability of jobs & discretionary income. The fact of the matter is there is a surplus of needs and unemployment, and there is a shortage of opportunity and expendable income. You are woefully dishonest - people are lined up for charitable breads, canned goods, and free emergency room visits. Open your eyes.

@WaitInLineIllegals LOL! what "upward changes in the demand curve"?! Every economist agrees that the main reason the economy can't recover is because companies have no customers: there is weak consumer demand. Last I checked most people are not standing in bread lines or waiting on a list for a gadgets, so supply of goods is just fine, the problem is with the demand ie. no disposable income in the pockets of the middle class because of stagnant wages and consumer debt

Get real Junior, your deflections & reconfigurations will not work on me. We both know it's the Liberals who are primarily responsible for the upward changes on the demand curve and the downward changes on the supply curve as a result of increased taxation & excessive population growth. For the American economy to enjoy a prospering balance sheet it will need to effectuate population reduction, immigration control, reduced taxation, and stoppage of entitlement suckling.

@WaitInLineIllegals It's ironic that the balance between supply and demand is EXACTLY what's being destroyed by "supply side economics" since the 80s?! How can you even pretend to understand the problem when you can't seem to grasp the basic fact that constantly cutting taxes on the supply side created the economic imbalance which resulted in $14 of the $15 trillion debt the last 30 years?! Not to mention the $40 trillion private sect debt! Social Sec exists since 1935!!

Listen Junior, when it comes to understanding economics you need to learn to wade before you swim. Anyone can frolic in the waters of irrelevant statistics, but if you don’t have a foundational understanding of supply & demand equilibrium, than you’re an incredulous & lost soul in the world of academia. The economy will continue to be strained as long the Loony-Left keeps selling their souls for political expediency and continue having their lustful tax & spend orgies.

@WaitInLineIllegals I see the only value you seem to prefer is being ignorant and childish. So what's the national debt of the USA?! Of that what percent was created before 1981 and what percent after?! You seem to have no interest in your country "junior" all you want is to hate on your own countrymen depending on stupid party affiliations and loyalties. sort of like the nazis and the commies in old europe: it's all about parroting a party line for your type.

I know better than to let a phony and a trickster lead a conversation. No action is an action, thus your refusal to discount how the Dems have corrupted the causal dynamics of supply & demand vis-à-vis people & resources amounts to your admission of its truthfulness. What you do when academically trumped is revert to defamation & slander against millions of Americans who prefer conservative values & politics. Listen Junior, this attitude of yours is par to that of a racist's.

@WaitInLineIllegals Your tone is petulant, arrogant and you seem to project your own foul attitude on others. I have no problem voting for a republican like Eisenhower. In fact every year Ike was in office the USA grew its economy much faster than its debt, top taxrates were 91%, 35% of the private workforce was union and the USA was building industries. Under Reagan the opposite: cut taxes to 30% & every year the debt grew faster than the GDP & shipped industries overseas

Listen up Junior, I'm starting to tire of your diversionary antics. You are the most dishonest & incredulous fat-mouth buffoon on YouTube. It's one thing to rhetorically ramble the way you do, but it's another thing to speak with relevance & validity. Your dialectical forte amounts to bobbing & weaving with smoke & mirrors. Let me simplify things for you Sonny, the prevailing economical problem continues to be the Dems and their grandiose tactics of political expediency.

@WaitInLineIllegals Clearly the more you speak the more you embarrass yourself. I am still waiting for an answer about the 30 year record of failure of reaganomics, but since you haven't even attempted to answer my point about the national debt to GDP ratio I assume it's above your paygrade and you conceded defeat, as for your incoherent rambling you present as an "argument" it's the usual stupid ass frat boy attitude that tells the world how dumb your party membership is.
