During yesterday’s introduction of Ryan:
“Unlike the current president, who has cut Medicare funding by $700 billion, we will preserve and protect Medicare and Social Security,” Romney said Saturday while introducing Ryan.
The trouble with this argument — made frequently by Republicans, including Ryan himself — is that Republicans have voted overwhelmingly for Ryan’s own budget which sustains the Medicare cuts in “Obamacare.” Conservatives argue that Ryan’s plan, unlike the Affordable Care Act, doesn’t use the Medicare savings to fund additional spending.
Whoops!
By the way, why the hell would Romney say such a thing knowing that Ryan’s budget and Medicare plan are out there? Because he doesn’t care. He just keeps on lying and lying.
