so i've been saying for days that uh... the homeland
nomination a guess epic is vice president opens up the door
provide tube boxing in president obama
force him to take a position
politically
medicare should be untouched now you can see attempts by the o bomb
administration in campaign
to make the argument that paul ryan was obstructionist
based on the way of a grand bargain
as it becomes more and more clear
that medicare is going to be the issue in this election they're going to have
to drive eight karate g
a bright line
this is my hope
uh... and for any will force them to take a position like joe biden took the
other day on social security soc purity will not be touched that's just the vice
president and that soc purity
but this is digested ektu jack torie
and
i'm not going first new has seen that it could go either way
digby highlights this clip from cnbc
makes it clear at the very least their sphere
that this will scuttling grand bargain an opportunity cut medicare
and
we will allow the hedge fund urge on taylor
to uh... expressed this
on c_n_b_c_ here he is on cnbc
uses first uh... response as to why he has a problem
we've alright and believe me uti
well it's not because he has a problem with paul ryan's positions
the probly has is that
collect
this hedge fund guy john taylor expo thank you artist paul ryan hurt mitt
romney's chances well i think the paul ryan makes this uh... mixes them abode
entirely on the
on his tax and and
spending package and i think that that's very difficult because you're gonna lose
all the old guys immunol guy and my friends are saying gee *** i like when
i've got and you can argue their own stock in the change so much but they're
scared andrews florida because of his stance on on medicare exactly so what we
can handle that that the straight talk is two straight for some right i mean
you do this
you know sort of on the slide you don't do this is a public opinion poll this is
a very very public poll and boy that's going to be in their arguments can be
fun to listen to it
but then i can win because he keeps going to cost mit romney the election
and arrest them and i believe so
okay so you're just like you know that that the problem with this pic is
it puts medicare out their input into helping to debate
you can't let these piano it's
weigh in on this
so he's going to lose but
he goes on to explain more explicitly what the problem is with the baby
about whether or not you're going to ka
a program that provides health care for elderly people and keeps them out of
poverty
let's listen to jeremy siegel i'm sure you know mister siegel off from the
wharton school of course was on the show yesterday
had these uh... thoughts to say uh... about all right let's listen and get
your reaction
i'm very pleased to help with the choice it's real substance it takes guts detach
the third rail of politics and which is medicare and i i i uh... i think the
choices that is a bold one in a good one
you all are totally disagree with the professor
yeah i agree that we have to do this dot but you know what to do it in public
ameen rely heavily going to do it at that time did to stand up and and and
say something
but no one wants to hear it and finally do it on the other politicians have done
things that are not not popular bride and address the it you know what they're
up in wisconsin
exactly but normally they do it on the day after the election or a month after
the election when they've got a couple of years running space rather than
before the election and i think he's got a little itself
therefore if you think this is a good idea this is not the way to do it
there you go
if you think this is a good idea haii screwing aborigine merrick ins out of
their capacity
to have health care
in their retirement
this is not the way you do it
she's tough
you know that uh... you know what the p m unseat do it
you do it when you're out of range of being punished for doing
if you're gonna steal hair you do it at night not during the day
as what this guy is saying
and uh... so my hope is
that this guy is correct
that not only
because i thought romney was gonna lose anyways
but it's going to uh...
screw-up they're all plants
of coming to a grand bargain
to basically screw the p hons out of their health care
you know in exchange for a couple loopholes calls we can get around
so thank you paul ryan thank you uh... mit romney
still gonna make fun of you *** dog
