The Ryan Budget Should Help Romney

[nehalem256]

Also keep in mind that Ryan's plan exempted seniors 55 years and older from the Medicare voucher system. Those that are 55 and older still suck on the current Medicare tit.

Yeah, I'm ok with that.

Yes, I pointed this out earlier.

Sunzt, if Ryan's medicare plan is so great why should anyone be exempted from it?

It brings SS and Medicare cuts into serious discussion for balancing the budget and that's what needs to be on the table.

You have separate LINE ITEMS for the taxes for SS and Medicare. The money taken out goes to those programs, not the other programs you want to pay for instead. Cutting down on SS/Medicare does nothing for the budget. It's smoke and mirrors to cut taxes, but have people spend more money on a less efficient system that generates a profit.

And since someone would be trying to make a profit, it automatically becomes less efficient.

What's the Biden/Obama plan?

You have this backwards. The more efficient your system is, the higher the profits you can make on the product. If it cost you $100 to make a product, and you sell it for $101, you do not make much profit. If you become more efficient and make that same product for $50, you can then sell it for $80 and make a large profit while reducing costs for the consumer.
