Watch the videos. What crimes did these people commit? Why did Ryan have law enforcement standing by to arrest these people?

I am so in agreement. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. If we don't get a viable 3rd party in this country soon, it will be over.

Some estimates put the number of people's lives in danger of dying as high as 50 million as a result of Paul Ryan's savage austerity against the poor and elderly.

Those who are already on it are being brainwashed by the left that they are going to be affected by it and lose their benefits. That's how low the Democrats are stooping to vilify the right on this issue. They won't step up to the plate and tell the truth nor will they admit that they are lying for votes right now. They know as I said just like the Republicans that those programs will have to change in the "future" but afterall it is an election year and Obama and the Dems are scrambling for votes so truth be damned, right?
Exactly. The problem is many who live in places like PA truly believe their money is squirreled away in some bag in the basement of the Dept. of the Treasury. I visit PA and I see both the Democrat scare advertisements and talk to these same people, so I know what I'm talking about.

Oh, and before you attack me, I am about to go on the same deal, so don't even go there, as I have a stake in this too!

These people better wake up from the FDR / Democrat ponzi scheme dream known as Social Security because one way or another it is going to cave in and it will get ugly if we don't do something about it. Here is a similar conversation I had with someone just like this guy:

Quote:
Me: “Most of our debt in the future comes from our entitlement programs.”
Senior citizen: “Hey, (Garbled; Ryan continues to speak). I paid into that for 50 years, my unemployment and my Social Security and my Medicare, and now you’re gonna…”
Me: “Whatever money you THINK you put into SS has been spent by the Democrats and Obama 16 trillion dollars ago. There's NOTHING now. NOTHING. Do you understand what it means to have a deficit?”

Obama is doing the same thing demanding that DHS ignore the crimes being committed daily by illegal aliens and passing another amnesty at a time when Americans are unemployed and falling into poverty daily:

Dying of what ? Old age maybe ?

The austerity has to come whether you like it or not. Going on 4 years of "spend and hope" isn't working.
Cutting taxes while spending more is the Greek solution of ignoring the incoming headlights.

We turn to the Fed Reserve to bail us out like the Euro countries turn to the IMF.
It cannot go on indefinitely.

Ryan at least proposed a reform package that offers a 10 year transition to a new program.
It's a start and can be debated and modifed as it would have to go through Congress, although many here seem to think it's a done deal and will be signed and put into execution on 1/21/2013 if Romney is elected.

What has Obama proposed for reform ? NOTHING. What he's done is CUT funding.
And you have $500 billion in medicare cuts passed in Obamacare. What are the estimates of "lives in danger" from those cuts which are not proposals but reality ?

All you Dems are up in arms about a proposal yet you're silent on the $500 billion cut to medicare that starts 1/1/2013 ?

I bet those are your estimates, because there is no truth to it. Totally ridiculous ..!
I'm poor and old, and I want Ryan's plan to save us from obama and his corruption...

Yeah. Sweden and Germany are such failures.
