Ryan is the ranking member on the House Budget Committee and has proposed his own comprehensive reform plan. As far as I know he is the only Republican who has done this.

His plan proposes to control the cost of Medicare by eliminating the program for everyone now under 55. Instead, when those now under 55 reach 65 each person will get an annual voucher that can be used to buy private health insurance. If the voucher is enough to buy all the coverage a person needs, he is okay. If it is not enough, he is not. I don’t think anyone mentioned this at the summit.

The Senate was created by the Founders to give lower population states (like Nebraska) more clout in Congress. Giving each state, regardless of population, an equal number of votes in the Senate is meant to insure that the smaller states can block legislation they don’t like unless there is something in it for them. Pretending that this tactic is something new, or something Republicans have not used many times in the past to benefit their states, is very, very dishonest.

Why did Senator Shelby recently put a hold on 70 of Obama’s nominees, for example? Because he wanted a guarantee that certain defense expenditures would be made in his state of Alabama. Why are conservatives not yelling at him about this? Let’s not be hypocrites, shall we?

They don’t want a health care bill to pass not because they think reform won’t work but because they think it might work.

The last thing Republicans want is the creation of another entitlement program that eats up a huge amount of tax revenue and is also popular with voters, like Social Security and Medicare. The more programs like that are created, the harder it becomes for them to talk about smaller government and lower taxes.

Bush was able to get major tax cuts passed without cutting spending on popular programs because America was still able to borrow enough money at low rates of interest to make up the difference and keep spending. But at some point the ability to borrow more and more at low rates comes to an end. What then?

If there is no room left to cut taxes because tax cuts mean cuts in popular programs, what do the Republicans have left to talk about? That is what they’re afraid of.

Was I asleep, or could you please name the Democrat who asked this question at any point during the past year? Or was the question just framed differently such as “What will it take to get you to vote for it?” Asking “what will it take” and “what changes can we make” are not the same thing. “What will it take” usually takes the form of a bribe as we saw with Nebraska and Louisiana.
