Paul Ryan: double speak on Medicare.

This morning on ABC's This Week, Paul Ryan insisted that a $500M cut in Medicare was ensuring that Medicare would continue to exist.......by using that cut to reduce the deficit.  By reducing the deficit, Ryan insists he's saving Medicare.


By my extremely rough, pencil on the back of a napkin calculation, cutting spending in the military would also save Medicare (sarcasm).

Therefore by using Ryan Logic, not spending a dime on Medicare would indefinitely extend Medicare forever (more sarcasm).
