Republicans: How many of you have actually read Paul Ryan's Budget?

Given some of the responses I am seeing from posters who support it, I get the sense that many of you have not actually read it. Particularly, the section involving Medicare.

All I see is the same mantras, "Republicans are trying to save Medicare," "Paul Ryan's a hero," "Stop demagoging the plan." Most of the posts I have read, just spew the same things that the party leaders are saying without supporting positions or exhibiting some basic knowledge of how the plan works.

So have you read it? Please be honest.

Update:

Hey Daffy, I have actually. Thanks for playing.

Update 2:

Pennybags> So you are probably just as informed as most of the Liberals you claim may not have read the plan?

Update 3:

How would I know> 77% of Americans would kindly disagree and theirs is the voice that matters most.

Update 4:

How would I know> 77% of Americans would kindly disagree and theirs is the voice that matters most.

Update 5:

New Cal> I have read it. Good try though.

    No, through fact he did no longer lie. i detect it greater insulting which you're mendacity approximately it. fact: S&P for months merely before the downrating spoke relating to the dimensions of the debt, the fee of debt accumulation and the undeniable fact that the U. S. government ought to no longer come mutually to handle the debt situation. increasing the debt shrink isn't germane to any of this. increasing the debt shrink does not shrink the deficit, the debt or mitigate the upward thrust of the two. fact: Ryan on no account blamed Obama for the Janesville plant shutdown. the situation replaced into Obama's declare that with government intervention, the plant could stay open for yet another one hundred years, and the undeniable fact that any economically literate individual knows that government has no such means. fact: So the place did Obama supply credit to the individuals who geared up all those companies? He suggested that they did no longer do it via themselves, that somebody else continuously helped them. however the gist replaced into that Obama (himself the King of all submit Turtles) expressed a concept that the individuals who geared up companies out of no longer something have been someway no longer to blame for the fulfillment of that corporation. as though companies merely spring up *magically* devoid of all individuals doing any artwork (artwork being something Obama is thoroughly unfamiliar with). fact: nicely, first, how is this a lie in case you certainly agree that's real??? Derp! Derp! Taking $716 out of Medicare is finished via lowering the compensation expenditures to vendors. medical doctors are already limiting the style of Medicare sufferers they see through fact the compensation expenditures do no longer conceal their expenses. try this around the board, and unexpectedly a great style of approaches and experts will strengthen into much less obtainable to seniors. additionally, with the taxes on units that many seniors use (are you able to declare man made knees and hips?) they are going to be no longer common pressed to discover somebody who will do those on the Medicare expenditures. you may desire to tell your self greater valuable, particularly than merely accepting something destructive written approximately Republicans to be real. Do your individual homework - supply up letting somebody else do your questioning for you.

    I've read the overview of it. And the fact that the medicare part of it has wide bipartisan support at the state level probably should tell you it's not as bad as Washington Democrats are saying..

    I'd guess more Republicans read it, than Liberals read Obama's Health Care Reform Bill.

    No, I haven't read it. I rely on a variety of news sources to give me the highlights, good and bad.
