Sean Duffy Competes with Lyin' Ryan, saying Ryan's $716 billion Cut to Medicare Keeps the money in the Plan.

This was too good to pass up. During an interview with Upfront's Mike Gousha, Rep. Sean Duffy was asked if he agreed with Paul Ryan's cuts to the Medicare plan. Duffy started with a complete fiction:

Duffy: "Medicare is going broke, if we don't do something to reform it, fix it, it's going to impact our current seniors." 

I was unaware of any current funding problems. Can anyone help me with that one? (What reporters should ask conservatives? Who would opt to take the voucher, if you can still get standard Medicare? Personally, I hope all teabillies take the voucher, save the standard plan money, and end up devastated paying out of pocket on their fixed incomes.)

Duffy is either stupid or lying about Obamacare taking money out of the current Medicare plan. It actually saves money for current seniors filling the prescription donut hole along with providing free checkups.



As far as Ryan's similar $716 billion cut to Medicare, Sean says a cut is not a cut...in his world anyway.

Duffy: "In our plan, we keep the money IN MEDICARE. So if you keep the savings in Medicare, you shore it up...keep the money in Medicare."

But it's a $716 billion CUT from Medicare. Will anyone question Duffy's bad math?
