Remember, everyone is going to be making up stories on this. But for Rep. Ryan and his Republican colleagues, steep cuts to Medicare weren’t enough. They insisted on abolishing the program in its entirety. 10% cuts to the program? 30% cuts to the program? 50%?

Still not enough?

Not enough. Eliminate the entire program. Let’s not lie about what this does. Get rid of the whole thing. 10 year fuse and then complete elimination of the entire program.
