"Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's selection of Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate looks like a safe choice right now in Florida and other swing states, according to a new survey from Purple Poll.

Most intriguing in Florida: Romney's ticket is deadlocked with President Obama's over Medicare, 44-45%, even though Ryan is the father of he so-called "Ryan plan," which Democrats hae villified for two years for "ending Medicare." It doesn't. But the plan does end Medicare's traditional structure starting in 2022 by giving new recipients a voucher-like premium, the growth rate of which would be capped. That could lead to more out of pocket expenses for seniors.

Still, the numbers indicate the public-relations problems with ObamaCare, which fired up the right in 2010, trimmed $700 billion from future Medicare expenses and caused seniors to leave Democratic candidates in droves."

You forgot to mention that the "Ryan Plan" also lowers Mitt Romney's effective tax rate to .82%. It's no wonder that Romney thinks the plan is "mah-ve-lous".

Yes, someone asked you to clarify that but I missed your response to that particular post.

And again, I know this is difficult, but the Ryan plan is a PLAN a roadmap...it is not our budget or tax policy.

Oh, thats right we have NO budget anymore and if we get poor, tax the rich...excuse me

Anyone know where I can find Paul Ryan's website?

sure wish I had an income tax rate of 0.82%.

The CBO estimated that one version of Ryan's plan, passed by the House last year, would increase retirees' out-of-pocket medical costs by about $6,400 annually.

I read the CBO report in the link below and it did not say anything like that. From what this knuckle dragger can tell it will decrease by 15%.
Now I have to say that I don't really have any faith in either number because I think they really don't know. But either way, I can't find that your claim is true. Do you have a link to your report?
