Journal Times: Despite voting for the contentious fiscal cliff package that raised tax rates, it was clear Sunday that Ryan’s status among his TEA Party supporters hadn't diminished.
Because to rabid low information tea party voters, Republican
fiscal policy plays second fiddle to power, guns and hating liberals. They're still not asking for a detailed plan on health care reform:
Compliments of the Onion |
Ryan lambasted the Affordable Care Act’s complexity and effectiveness, and predicted that it would eventually fail. “I think this thing is going to collapse under its own weight because it’s not sustainable. It’s sickly, and it cannot survive because it’s such a poorly drafted law.”
Of course Ryan failed to mention the wrench thrown into the
system by uncooperative Governors and Republican state legislatures who refuse
to obey federal law passed by congress.
Ryan said he favors a consumer-directed health care system driven by free-market competition.
What Ryan never mentions is we already have a free market
system, that’s why we’re getting crushed by the massive increases in cost. Ryan’s
plan goes one step further though by removing the basic requirements of health care
providers, meaning Americans will essentially be buying junk policies filled
with legalese that pretty much exempts everything. Now that's competition.
But Ryan saved the biggest load of BS for last; the promise
of a detailed plan:
He has similar plans to “show ... in legislative detail” alternatives on income tax reform and Medicare reform.
Here’s my challenge; let’s see the plan, and the CBO
analysis. That’s all. How easy is that? But low information tea party voters
can’t be bothered with such wonkish details, after all, they’re already too busy planning
their new American revolution against a tyrannical U.S. government.
