PAUL RYAN - THIS GUY MEANS TROUBLE IF ELECTED

I watched some of the debate last night between V.P. Joseph Biden and Republican Cong. Paul Ryan.

To think that there are a lot of American voters who might choose Ryan and Mitt Romney over Barack Obama and Biden is astounding!  And even more surprising is that a majority of old geezers over 65 prefer Romney/Ryan!

Ryan and Romney want to lower takes on top earners, cut social programs, and, above all, do away with Social Security and Medicare. 

They claim that seniors over 55 will not be affected, but how about those between 45 and 55?  Instead of health care from Medicare, Romney/Ryan will give them a voucher.  If their health expenses exceed the face value of the voucher, well, too bad!

GEORGE OSBORNE CUTS GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND PAYROLLS, CASTS U.K. INTO STEEP RECESSION

Prime Minister David Cameron reshuffles his cabinet, but he keeps George Osborne as chancellor of the Exchequer.  The same Osborne who has forced thousands of cuts in public employment, at whose door we can lay Britain's double-dip recession.

This same tactic is what mindless Republicans in the United States wish to do with the American economy.  The mantra of cutting spending harks back to the days of Herbert Hoover when the same opponents of public debt took charge. 

Fortunately, there are some smarter economists in the U.S. today, like Fed chairman Ben Bernanke, who refuse to go along with cutting government spending when the economy is in danger of going back into recession.  But imagine the chaos and economic turmoil if that faker, Mitt Romney, and his side-kick, Paul Ryan, win the coming election!

PAUL RYAN CLAIMED HE RAN MARATHON IN UNDER THREE HOURS! RIDICULOUS!

Paul Ryan, vice presidential candidate picked by Mitt Romney, claims he once ran a marathon in less than three hours. That's means Ryan would have to run a sub-seven minute mile each and every mile of the 26-mile race.

Runners World investigated his claim and found no evidence of his boast. Subsequently, Paul Ryan was forced to apologize for his exaggeration and withdrew his claim.

Lawyers have a saying, "false in one thing, false in all things."  So when Paul Ryan says that he will safeguard Medicare by making it into a voucher system, his listeners should suspect this too is a wild boast without any substance in reality.
