Paul Ryan does not want to "pull the rug from under people"?

[kentuck]

That was quite an admission!

The ACA offers at least a minimum cover for their floor. Without a rug, they have nothing but a bare floor. Is that their plan? To leave people with nothing but a bare floor of health coverage?

Perhaps they will finaly see that Obamacare is easier to fix than it is to repeal and replace? Then, just re-brand it and give it another name?

1. He'd rather ...

pull the plug.

[SHRED]

2. Paul Ryan is a liar

How many times has he voted for repeal?
Over 60 times already?

[exboyfil]

3. And no reporter has the guts to ask him

So was that just political posturing wasting the people's time and money. Would it not have been better to work at proposing alternatives then? After eight years you haven't come up with anything yet?

[SHRED]

7. 90% of reporters are worthless

Corporate boot lickers.

[NastyRiffraff]

4. Yep, it's that simple

When Ryan opens his mouth he lies.

[Cracklin Charlie]

5. No other name!

Obamacare was chosen by them!

They own that name.

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. Bullshit, he wants to he just doesn't want to pay a political price doing so.

I will say I was surprised learning that Republicans called their representatives and complained about the ethics committee situation, very surprised.

Only one thing saves that which we all have or will work our entire lives for and that is if THEIR voting base says no, then it might be no. Still might take it all, but the only chance of them not doing it is large numbers of their base saying no!

Your average American, especially republican, doesn't know what shape Social Security is in or what needs to be done to make it secure, which is lifting the cap. All they know is they have been told it isn't fair to rich people to lift the cap.

Will Joe Q. Driver who works for Walmart driving a truck making $80,000 a year or Jim P. Fixit working at the local Chevy dealer as a mechanic making $60,000 a year support lifting the cap, thus saving our benefits or will they say no, we cant do that to rich people, not fair to them?

Maybe it has to start with explaining to people that we are a progressive tax system, how that system CREATED the world around them and how abandoning that now is suicide.

We certainly know many people dont know the history of our tax system, because when you hear a middle class person pushing the flat tax idea, you KNOW they are ignorant of how it works.

8. Ryan would prefer to yank them directly off the rug

However, provided one has the good fortune of being healthy and wealthy enough, they will be allowed to hold firm. As always, Ayn Rand tapes play in Ryan's head 24/7.

9. He's had years to come up with a plan

Any plan. And he's got nothing.
Not a single idea. Not a clue.
I don't expect he'll ever have a plan.
