    A mailer is going around from 60 Plus Association Inc. Their misleading tripe ignores that Paul Ryan’s “proposal” cuts Medicare as much as Obama’s “health care law”. They imply Ryan will save Medicare but it is only saved for current seniors, while it is ravaged by “improvements” to Medicare; “voucher care” means sending Medicare funds through Wall Street to gamble with, as a way to reduce “waste”. Unlike Ryan and his billionaires who are funding 60 Plus, w want Medicare for the kids. To save Medicare for all the people and not just insurance companies vote democrat.

    Does Paul Ryan’s mom receive Social Security and Medicare? He’s promised that his policies would create jobs for “takers” and I’d like to know what he has in mind for her, if she’s one of them. Perhaps he’ll be asked at the debate on 11 October.
