The New Republic ran with a fascinating set of lies, and they did it in a most dishonest manner. They offer this article…….
UPDATED: Six Things to Know About Ryan (and Romney)
In it they blather unsubstantiated claims about Ryan’s various proposals. When they get to specifics, they start blathering about an earlier proposal which has already been supplanted.
Ryan’s early proposals had no safeguards to make sure the voucher was adequate. His most recent one has safeguards, a more reasonable spending line, and preserves the government-run plan as an option. But the safeguards are weak, at best, and the government-run program would struggle to survive. Over time, more and more seniors would find the voucher too small to buy the insurance they need.
In addition, Ryan would raise the eligibility age of Medicare from 65 to 67. Without the Affordable Care Act, which Ryan would repeal, many if not most 65- and 66-year-olds without employer insurance would end up uninsured. And that’s not an age at which you want to be skipping doctor visits.
Yes, the Ryan plan moves Medicare eligibility to age 67…….. in 2034!!!! Hey, guess what the retirement age will be in 2034?……. 67! 
Do they think we need to be handing out Medicare to people working? Idiots.
When authors can’t be bothered to show the most base level of honesty on the first specific point about why they don’t like Ryan’s plans, then they lose me in the rest of the blathering. I’ll wander over to HuffPo in a little bit. I can only take so much inanity in doses.
I found the perfect person to debate O’Bambi. What he said 22 years ago is still valid.
Maybe more so today.
Yes, Obama is essentially Carter only more so.
we are in worse shape today than we were then. For the same reasons.
I completely agree. The despise of energy and fuel, the malaise, the notion that govt. can fix our problems, and mostly the hatred for the industry of the American people.
Notice at 03:56 :
” Yes we can – burn our coal “
I thought that was appropriate along with just about everything else about government and how to fix the economy.
I found the “yes we can” interesting. Obama copied Reagan.
With the opposite meaning. As in “Yes we can” destroy the economy and personal wealth.
“What he said 22 years ago is still valid.”
So from 2000 to 2010 is the lost decade?
yes!

And for a repeat
The retirement will change to 67 in 2027. 7 years before the Medicare changes. It has already started rising a month a year.
Life expectancy in the West currently grows with 3 months a year. Faster in the underdeveloped countries due to child mortality reduction.
