You know and I know that Republicans have had this plan to destroy Medicare at the ready for decades now and I hope they try to use it so as to finally show the American people their ruthlessness. They try to keep it under wraps because the Medicare/SS generation is their biggest supporter but it looks like Ryan may try to make it happen based on lies about Medicare being harmed by the ACA when in fact already the ACA has added 11 years of solvency to the program. The American people were willing to overlook the lies that Bush pushed to launch his war of choice against Iraq in the 2004 election but when he interpreted his slim victory as a mandate and went after privatizing SS his approval tanked and he never recovered. He left office with a 27% approval rating. Please proceed Speaker Ryan.
