Reaction to Ryan's Dystopian Restructuring of America Gives the Keys to Corporate Power...or... small government-Pt 1

I've written endlessly about Ryan's brutal, cruel, inhumane treatment of all Americans, justifying his tough love approach as a way of balancing the books. Now it's time for a few other points of view: 

Think Progress documented the following:

In an op-ed written in a local paper in October 2009, Ryan said that President Obama broke his “promises” to seniors by cutting Medicare. He complained that, “in order to pay for the trillion dollar health care overhaul making its way through Congress…hundreds of billions of dollars will be cut from Medicare.” [10/1/09] 

In a Newsmax interview, Ryan complained that the health bill would involve “10 years of tax increases and Medicare cuts to pay for six years of spending.” [2/25/10] 

On his congressional website, Ryan complained that the health care bill “raises taxes by more than a half-trillion dollars over the next 10 years, the largest tax increase in American history and cuts more than a half-trillion dollars from Medicare to finance this new entitlement.” [2010] 

Ryan gave one of his strongest denunciations of the health care bill’s supposed Medicare cuts at a meeting between President Obama and congressional Republicans at the Blair House in 2010. Ryan said that the health bill “treats Medicare like a piggy bank” because it “raids” half a trillion dollars out of it: RYAN: Now, when you take a look at the Medicare cuts, what this bill essentially does is treats Medicare like a piggy bank. It raids a half a trillion dollars out of Medicare not to shore up Medicare’s solvency but to spend on this new government program.

MSNBC found these campaign examples from 2010:

60 Plus vs. former Rep. Allen Boyd (D-FL): “Allen Boyd has betrayed Florida seniors. Boyd voted for Nancy Pelosi’s health care bill, which would cut $500 billion from Medicare.” Another man: “That will hurt the quality of our care.” Woman: “We thought Boyd was looking out for us. But Allen Boyd switched his vote on health care.” Man: “…he betrayed us.  

Crossroads GPS vs. Joe Sestak (D-PA):  “What’s Congressman Joe Sestak done? He voted to gut Medicare, slashing benefits for Pennsylvania seniors. The Obama-Sestak scheme could jeopardize access to care for millions. … 

NRSC vs. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO): Bennet: “what’s Bennet done? He voted to gut Medicare, jeopardizing benefits for over 200,000 Colorado seniors. … 

Crossroads GPS vs. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA): “California seniors are worried. Barbara Boxer voted to cut spending on Medicare benefits by $500 billion. Cuts so costly to hospitals and nursing homes that they could stop taking Medicare altogether. Boxer’s cut would sharply reduce benefits for some and could jeopardize access to care for millions of others. 

RNC Chairman Michael Steele touting his proposed “Seniors Bill of Rights”: “No cuts to Medicare to pay for another program. Zero.” 

From the ambiguously named, “League of American Voters”: Young woman: “Cutting Medicare $400 billion?” Faux government official: “Streamlining. The elderly are such a drain on the system.”
Rep. Dan Benishek (R-MI) vowed: “Social Security and Medicare are a promise we’ve made to our seniors. And I will keep that promise.” Announcer: “Dr. Dan Benishek’s plan would guarantee Social Security and Medicare for the future.” 

Lamar Alexander (in Senate Republicans’ video at about 0:46): “We can say no to higher taxes, higher premiums, and cuts to Medicare.”

Ryan's plan protects Medicare, or hands it over to the private sector? We're talking Ryan now.
