CBO Estimates/Comparison with Paul Ryan's Healthcare

quotes: Ryan gave strong advice to GOP presidential candidates: "If you want to be the president of the United States, you should put up ideas on how to solve this country's massive fiscal and economic problems. The current president isn't doing that. Our nominees should do that." This man gets it. I don't care what party he is...he gets it. ...

suddenly now a "compassionate" conservative and is addressing the issue of poverty. In fact, what Ryan wants to do is turn welfare and food stamp programs back to the STATES; he then can continue to eliminate the entire amount from the federal budget, as he has planned to do all along! ...

I have been hearing that Paul Ryan worships Ayn Rand saying the following: "I just want to speak to you a little bit about Ayn Rand and what she meant to me in my life and [in] the fight we're engaged here in Congress. I grew up on Ayn Rand, that's what I tell people." "I grew up reading Ayn Rand and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are, and what my beliefs are." I have to admit I did not know anything about Any Rand, so I ...

According to Fox News columnist Sally Kohn, vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan's speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday "was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech." ...

PAUL RYAN: "I gotta start off on something that was really troubling that occured last night, did you guys watch that Packer game last night? Give me a break! It's time to get the real refs! You know, it reminds me of President Obama and the economy! If you can't get it right, it's time to get out! I have to think that these refs work part time for President Obama in the budget office! They see the national debt clock staring them in the face, they see a debt crisis an ...

Am I the only one who thinks there is something seriously off about Paul Ryan's eyes? Years ago, I read that when the whites of the eyes show below the irises, it's an indication of something--I can't remember quite what, but I think it was a negative thing. That look has always given me a bit of a chill. I believe some thyroid conditions cause a similar look, so maybe that's it. ...

It was so nice to see positive, optimistic news coming out of DC again. The link starts with part 1 and then part 2 follows. Great News and Great Interview! ...

Cut Medicare and privatize Social Security. That's what the republicans presented. Let's hope we don't hear any more screaming about rationing health care under Obama, because that's what the republicans want, not the dems. I am amazed that they are not just sticking to NO. Whenever they come up with a proposal, it hits the fan. Like this tired attempt to do Medicare and Social Security in. The good news is that there are a fair number of older people who are republi ...

It's on the combined budgetary impact on enacting the reconcillation proposal H.R. 3590 and H.R. 3961 plus the impact of enacting the proposal with some provisions altered and cash flow for the Hospital Insurance Fund. It's an interesting read. http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/113xx/doc11376/RyanLtrhr4872.pdf ...

I wish it was Condoleezza Rice! ...

the campaign trail with him to Florida. Woo-hoo - you Go Mom! ...

about Obama being a failure, but a lot of people fail at their first jobs. LOL - When you think about that, it should scare all of us. HIS FIRST REAL JOB??!!! OMG ...

Some of the extremists have already broken off from him and are going off the deep end. I thought it would happen, but I thought it would take longer than this. It will be interesting to watch the votes though, the the faces. ...

The more I see this Ryan the better I like him. ...

Interesting video....especially when Ryan pulls out the chart from the CBO about the true cost of Obamacare....$454 billion deficit in the first 10 years (so much for it helping the deficit). This guy is really well spoken. ...

Put all the social security taxes in Wall Street accounts and let Goldman manage your money – your benefits will be cut by 40%. Take the Medicare taxes you paid and give them to "for profit" insurance companies – you get a voucher for about 60% of the current cost of your care. And all you pubs are lining up to get on this bandwagon. Talk about drinking the Koolaid!! ...

That man has more class in his little finger than all those liberals put together. ...

Just FYI: I know some of you don't like Fox News, but try to tune in at 2 p.m. today for Chris Wallace (Fox News Sunday). Paul Ryan is on and he gives very detailed information about budget cuts for 2012. This budget will be released Tuesday, so this is kind of a sneak peak for anyone that's interested. ...

How can you call this guy fiscally conservative when he voted FOR the auto bailout, two wars and the Bush tax cuts...none of which were paid for? Exactly what part of that is conservative? David Stockman (former budget director under Reagan) -- "Mr. Ryan’s plan is devoid of credible math or hard policy choices.” ...

Fox Anchor Calls Out Paul Ryan’s Budget Plan: Repealing Obamacare Is ‘Not Going To Happen’ On Sunday morning, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) stopped by Fox News Sunday to preview his new budget, which will be released in full on Tuesday. As it had the past two years, this year’s version will call for massive cuts to social service programs, including food stamps, job training, Medicaid, and Medicare. Host Chris Wallace challenged Ryan on the viability of his pla ...

As usual, she calls it like she sees it. ...

This is Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. Paul Ryan reveals the 2012 budget which will be totally revealed today(?), Marc Rubio talkes about the recent budget fight, Libya and whether or not he will run for VP or President. This is the whole program and at least 45 minutes long, but after Ryan and Rubio, the panel is on to talk about the above items. http://video.foxnews.com/v/4624119/rep-paul-ryan-previews-gop-budget ...

Just my opinion, but I think Chris Christie would be better off finishing his term as governor and then running in the next election - I like him, but it's just too soon for him. Paul Ryan should also think twice about this, as he's not exactly Mr. Popularity, even with some conservatives. I like him, too, but I don't think he coud garner the support he would need. Thoughts on this - no slams, please. ...

"When he ran for Congress – at age 28 – Ryan’s resume was already closely tied to ALEC. His first campaign was financed by big-name PACs with ties to ALEC including: Koch Industries, Federal Express, Union Pacific Corporation, American Council of Life Insurance, National Auto Dealers Association, National Association of Home Builders, National Federation of Independent Businesses, and National Beer Wholesalers." "Just take a look at his signature piece of legislatio ...

administration will ask the city's Board of Estimates to approve a $20 million supplement to the city's 2015 budget to pay for overtime, equipment and public works costs run up during the civil unrest that came to a head April 27. The requested riot costs are the first time city officials have offered a public estimate... ...

healthiest half of the population consumes only 3% of health care costs. The only alternative would appear to be taxpayer subsidies. It is next to impossible, politically, to take away freebees once in place. Income redistribution continues to increase. The 2010 health law, also known as Obamacare, forced insurers to sell coverage to anyone, at the same price, regardless of their risk of incurring big claims. That provision was popular. Not so were rules requiring nearly everyone to have ins ...

but did you know that at the DNC, during their tribute to veterans, they projected picture of RUSSIAN ships as a backdrop? A picture says a thousand words. Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/09/12/dems-apparently-used-russian-war-ship-in-convention-tribute-to-vets/#ixzz26GrOTAng ...
