I don't like Ryan's plan either but I was under the mistaken idea that most conservatives liked it because he was nominated for VP. My second perhaps mistaken understanding was that the graphs were not Ryan's plan but were his projection of how the current course of the D's would go if Ryan's plan was not adopted. The reason I thought that was because what kind of plan would have health care skyrocketing like that. That doesn't sound like a plan at all. As far as Soc Sec, the gov has a separate tax for that which was originally a trust fund, but LBJ started raiding that, and putting IOU's in the supposed trust fund. When pundits say SS is running out of money, they forget the the feds owe it about $4 trillion. SS is not the problem, the feds raiding it and substituting IOUs is the problem.
