Ryan has painted a target on the back of seniors and having done that and continuing to lie about what his intentions are if elected will certainly cost the GOP ticket votes.
I did hear him say that he had no intention to take medicare away from seniors. He want's to start reform with people around his age so their will be a net there for them when they need it. He made a good point about funds being taken away from medicare. If you have an older relative, you know this is true
He's not telling the truth. And, anyone who's been following the Medicare issue knows that Ryan's plan affects those under 55, so that isn't new news, either. Clearly, you don't stay on top of things.
Paul Ryan isn't called "Lyin' Ryan" for nothing. Do you actually believe everything a politician tells you? You can't believe any politician. You need to do your own research and then decide if they are telling you the truth. They are all liars, basically, and have been hoodwinking the populace from time immemorial.
Essentially, those under 55 will be stuck with a much higher cost for health care when they are retired b/c the Ryan plan will not provide enough money for those people to buy health insurance.
Paul Ryan is one of those "you're on your own" people. You better have a lot of money saved and a good retirement plan when retire. You're gonna need it if Ryan has his way.

Do some reading.
And, not enough to pay their deductibles and co-pays either, which essentially will mean they'll have no health care in their old age.
Team Romney and their GOP handlers really believe we old folks are selfish enough to take OUR Medicare and Medicaid, which they've promised to "protect," in exchange for screwing our grandkids.
I heard some of that, and my first thought was, "some of the dumbest people I know are retired Jews."
Firstly, to be an AARP member right off the bat shows you don't have the brains to come in out of the rain.

No, he hasn't. Stop with the nasty koolaid. If you really believe that, there's zero hope for you.
On Friday afternoon, Paul Ryan addressed the AARP’s National Annual Conference in New Orleans. The GOP vice presidential candidate attacked Obamacare for taking $716 billion out of Medicare — the very same cuts he included in his budget — and made the case for transforming seniors’ health care from a guaranteed benefit into a premium support “voucher” program.
The address didn’t go over well. One man called Ryan a “liar” and the audience repeatedly booed his critique of President Obama and health reform.Source
Nothing wrong with the discounts I get on travel for a $13 yearly membership fee. How is that not having brains?
I got $500 AARP discount off a new car a while back. Cost of membership is cheap enough and I do use the travel discounts, as well.
