This New Access Points grant program that Ryan requested money from is funded fully by the Affordable Care Act, a fact made clear on multiple government websites. The claim that Bush "created" this program is also unfounded. Federally-funded health centers were created through the Public Health Services Act, legislation signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1944. New Access Point grants have existed well before the Bush administration came to office.
So, it wasn't a Bush thing, it was an FDR thing, but it also wasn't Obamacare so the article is now moot, but we put the update at the very bottom, hoping that folks will only read the headline and maybe the first paragraph.

No one has claimed that Ryan is perfect and without fault. For fuck's sake, he's a politician. Even the libertarian lion, Ron Paul, does whatever he can to get money for his district.

But, please, continue to beat this dead horse. It's not going anywhere, but you seem to enjoy the flagellation.

Kansas City loophole and deduction cuts

Quote:
a new web video stringing clips of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan being questioned on their tax plan and highlighting the GOP nominees' vagueness on which tax loopholes they would eliminate if elected.

Taking apart Ryan's plan

I am surprised media isn't hammering more on this. Ryan's plan isn't fiscally conservative, nor even possible in its entirety .

the media isnt hammering obama for having no plan, or even for failing to pass a budget in three years. i am not surprised.

so is ryans plan worse than having no plan? what effect do you think eliminating the bush tax cuts will have on the economy?

It will increase revenue and as a result decrease deficit.

according to this, a left wing source, letting the bush tax cut expire will raise 1 trillion over the next 10 years.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2012/08/24/bush-era-tax-cuts-revenue-expire_n_1828657.html
so thats like 100 billion a year

according to this article here,
http://m.cbsnews.com/storysynopsis.rbml?...mp;videofeed=39 ,

the deficit since 2008 is 4.9 trillion, or 1.2 trillion per year. by the way, this article also points out that 4 years under obama has cost us more than 8 under bush.

so letting the bush tax cuts lapse will cut the average yearly deficit from 1.2 trillion to 1.1 trillion, and cost the average taxpayer $5700. that seems like a good idea?

Without looking at your numbers, this is how cutting tax deficits works. Cutting from 1.2 to 1.1 trillion is not trivial, that is almost 10% of deficit! Other 90% will have to come from somewhere, like defense and social program cuts.

How about we make the first 90% of cuts before we ask the American people to pay more? The government needs to prove to us all that they are serious about cutting the deficit before we can get behind greater confiscation of our income.
