Flee nowhere...im not answering your same question over and over, you are incorrect...you show me where a person 55 nothing changes for them under ryans plan...when it CLEARLY states in ryans plan in 10 yrs premium support starts..which means a person 55 everything changes for them
55 is the cut off for the
old plan. if you are
54 today you will enroll under the new.
but that's not what you claim - you have claimed that it changes Medicare for the worse for
current retirees, to the tune of hundreds of dollars a month.
abolishing the inheritance tax and the capitol gains tax benefits ONLY the richest americans
this is wildly incorrect. Alan Greenspan testified before Congress that repealing the Capital Gains Tax would cause the investment of
Trillions of extra dollars in the American economy in a matter of
months.
If you want to reduce the deficit, you need to increase revenue. If you want to increase revenue, you have to increase GDP. If you want to increase GDP, getting rid of the capital gains tax is an
excellent way to do it.
.....
but you know what? that whole bit is moot.
because the House 2012 Budget does not eliminate the death tax, and it does not eliminate the capital gains tax
you have confused the 2012 Budget with Ryan's previous work, the
Roadmap For America; which has
never been passed by the House, but which does contain the elimination of both of those taxes.
now.
you can either admit that you were wrong, or you can run away to another thread in a day... or three... and post the same false claim.
we'll see what you choose.
Cp ...you need to be a bit less partisan and not cheerlead for every single teaparty talking point...to hear you tell it whatever they say comes from the mouth of god and is gospel...sorry buddy I was like that and I outgrew it...
:roll: I called for the election of Obama because I wanted to
punish the Republican Party. I wrote long, angry letters to the local, state, and national party headquarters. I sent money to anyone running against a Republican incumbent that I thought had a chance and would be a better replacement. The Republican Party is a pack of fools - but this One Thing they seem to have gotten mostly right.
- Here's how the Congressional Budget Office looked at that in dollars.
- CBO estimated that in 2022, the government would allot $8000 for a 65-year-old, to go toward buying a health insurance plan.
That's because the CBO scores dynamically - they either dont' or can't take into effect actual changes in the market so they have to assume current trends continue. that's why they overestimated Medicare D to the tune of
41% - because they don't factor in for the natural changes in a market that occur when you introduce choice.
- CBO estimated that the 65-year-old would then pay an additional $12,500 for that plan and for all out-of-pocket costs.
unless of course they couldn't afford it in which case the government picked up the tab - I notice you don't mention the $7,800 extra that the government provides in premium support for those who means -test as needing it.
