The GOP May Have Found Its New Star

The Ryan plan has gotten the GOP in trouble because it cuts Medicare and Medicaid funding, and even some in its base can understand that this is not what they want. They were against the Affordable Care Act because the GOP told them that it would cut funding for Medicare. They did not expect the GOP to propose a plan to cut funding even further. So how would a rising GOP star deal with this problem? You guessed it. They lie and they always lie about everything.

Marc Rubio was on a Sunday talk show and he was asked about the Ryan plan and he showed that he has what it takes to move to the head of the GOP class. He said that the Ryan plan does not cut funding to Medicare. He then turned the question back to where he wanted it to go and raved about how "Obamacare" would cut funding for Medicare. A GOP star has been born. He is young, he is good looking, and he has learned how to lie like a trooper, and switch a question he does not like into one that he wants to answer. They love him in Florida because he does it so well. He did it so well that his TV host did not even call him on his answer. They appreciate a good lie when they hear it.

In case anyone forgot, the Ryan plan does cut funding for Medicare. In fact it ends Medicare. It is replaced by a voucher system which retirees can use to purchase insurance from private providers. The problem is that insurance premiums grow twice as fast as the values of the vouchers. The cost of healthcare inflation is passed on to seniors. Even Tea Partier's should understand that this is less than Medicare would have provided. Unless, of course, Marc Rubio and Fox News tell them otherwise.
