Hey Paul Ryan, you want smaller government? Why don't you start by getting rid of every worthless piece of shit like yourself? Neo-Cons say they want less government but that's not really true. They're willing to be socialists & run a welfare state when it comes to Wall Street, Big Corps, tax subsidies for oil companies etc. But not when it comes to the elderly or the poor. Why don't they make tax cuts for the so called job creators performance based? No jobs no tax cut!!! Fucking hypocrites!!!

Is the government ever going to pass a law that will force the government to pay the money it owes to social security without increasing the tax burden on others and instead of financing the Social Security congresasional slush fund-passing a law overturning financing the congressional slush fund? Here is what you will hear and see, "entitlement reform, entitlement reform" when it is our politicians who must be reformed.

@BlackRepublican2010 The Bush Tax cuts were funded by those programs my friend. Obamacare changes some aspects of Medicare ADVANTAGE not the traditional medicare. There is a difference between the two programs.

This is the most evil man in Washington. If you are willing to give the rich and corporate elite tax breaks instead of saving Social Security and Medicare, then you're an idiot. Thank you and have a great day!

It all sounds like the republican party would like to give the medicare, medicaid, and social security systems to wall street, and letting them gamble it away, in turn, you get a voucher to fight insurance companys for coverage.

no thank you, you are not backed by the feds.  hands off.

@ThatsMrSkyDoctoyou The only people who have contributed to Medicare's bankruptcy are the Democrat party who have stolen $500 billion from Medicare to fund Obamacare.

[ThatsMrSkyDoctoyou]

What crazy talk. Destroy a system that has been proven to work with less overhead than an insurance company has, and do so while handing out trillions in tax breaks that were supposed to create jobs and ended up with a net loss of jobs. Crazy talk from crazy people that are mere puppets for the ultra rich and big business.

Did I just hear him say that this plan will help seniors who can't afford health care and yet makes those who are more wealthy pay more? Isn't that what Dems want? The wealthy to pay more.

NEVER VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN AGAIN! The PAUL RYAN BUDGET PLAN will DESTROY MEDICARE for those of us 54 years or younger. IMAGINE being an old man or woman and having to do BATTLE with a PRIVATE insurance company because the voucher you got is too little to afford coverage or you just can't get coverage for your illness! REPUBLICONS slipped this in their budget proposal with no DISCUSSIONS OR DEBATE! _*_*TELL YOUR STATE REPUBLICON$ YOU WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THEM AGAIN!

Ryan and the GOP believe in choices!! That's right-if they have their way senior citizens will have to make lots of choices - one choice they'll have to make will be between health care and food! SUCKERS!!!
