Thanks for a great link.

I have been begging people to look at what this administration gave to the CBO that is supposed to pay for the new health care law, and everytime I have listed them, those that tell me how crazy I am NEVER RESPOND.

The payment for the Health care bill is nothing but maybes, could bes and one is the medicaire thing....they will save, according to them, about 700 to 800 million dollars with efficiency.....this is one of the items to pay for this HUGE bill ! No mention anywhere at any time how they intend to get this efficiency......except for a mention of LESS SERVICE, yet ....well, I do not even know what to say.....maybe if I have time tomorrow I will list the ways this WH says this will be paid for and beg somebody to show me how it can be done.

They even have robbed 800 million for an "experiment" that even the insiders were angry about....this is so the CUTS do not happen before the election......it is an amazing WH !!!

..... "well, I do not even know what to say"..........

For someone who doesn't know what to say, you sure do use up a lot of badwidth.

20 minutes is a long time to listen to guy whose only job in life has been driving a weinermobile.

Give us the short version.

Did he talk about Newt calling the Ryan plan "right wing social engineering"?

the short version is that this plan better than law the social reformer has put forward! hope that isn't too much bandwidth for you!

I would not want my computer soiled up by this Republican generated tripe.

You can waste your time watching or listening. I would much rather watch a rerun of "Route 66".

At least the posts of the leftists explains the ignorance, and at least that's something.

They think they're being funny, and I am in fact laughing.......but not for the reasons they think.

This is such a good demonstration on how cults work, and for that I thank them for the demonstration.

that's what scares me about the voting public...attitudes such as this admission.

“You paid in to Medicare for years … now when you need it, Obama has cut $716 billion from Medicare. Why? To pay for ObamaCare.”

Whoa, your comment doesn't fool me Buggy. My bet is that you watched it thoroughly, digested it and came away with some opinion.

Keep in mind that Romney/Ryan is not running on the Ryan budget, or the Ryan Plan, but on the Romney Plan. Yesterday in an interview with Britt Hume, Ryan struggled mightily to explain the Romney economic plan, and went to great lengths to emphasize he is running on the Romney ticket, and the Romney plan. He had better do a better job in the near future of articulating the details of the Romney/Ryan plan, and how it will benefit the country. He seemed a little flustered in trying to recall his talking points on such short notice.

He looked awful and uninformed. His new master has him handcuffed.

WASHINGTON - The Romney campaign is willing to discuss its proposals on taxes "in the light of day," vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan said Tuesday evening -- just not until after the election.

The problem is Mitt Romney doesn't want anyone, including Paul Ryan, to know what his economic plan is. Romney is always going to announce it in a day or two, but that day or two never comes.

Romney's plan, as far as I know it, is to cut taxes and close loopholes. Unfortunately, he won't tell us what those loopholes are until after he takes office. Also, Romney won't announce what departments he plans on closing.
