What are the Republican Presidential candidates offering the American corporations and the wealthy, public.

Paul Krugman on the Ryan Plan

"What I hope regular readers of this blog understand by now is that the Ryan plan is, in fact, a self-serving piece of junk. It doesn’t add up — in fact, it would probably make the deficit bigger not smaller. And far from representing some kind of sacrifice of political interests in the service of the greater good, it’s a right-wing wish-list on steroids: sharp tax cuts for corporations and the rich, savage cuts in aid to the poor, and a gratuitous privatization of Medicare. And again, it’s technically incompetent along the way."

Paul Krugman rails against the Ryan Plan

Paul Krugman  has repeatedly savaged the lying Ryan Plan for its distortions, inconsistencies, hidden numbers and budgetary dirty tricks. 

Today he wrote:
"Because it is, you know, a plan to dismantle Medicare. When you transform a program that pays seniors’ medical bills into a program that gives them a voucher that almost certainly isn’t enough to buy adequate insurance, you can call the new scheme Medicare, but it isn’t the same program."  the full piece here.

The Ryan plan doesn't balance the budget until 2041, it does not save medicare.  Mostly the Ryan plan is a wealth redistribution plan.  It reduces taxes for the wealthy by cutting medicare.   The Ryan plan at work.
