This is a link to a YouTube video of an ad put together by the Agenda Project. A clearer copy of the video can be found at Power Line.
The video is meant to represent Paul Ryan pushing granny off of a cliff. Well, Paul Ryan is not the person pushing granny off the cliff. In a related post at Power Line, John Hinderaker points out that Medicare as it curently stands must either be reformed or terminated.
The report recently released by the Medicare Trustees tells us:
"...that Obamacare, because it calls for across-the-board cuts in Medicare funding but does not put in place the market mechanisms for encouraging greater productivity in health care, spells disaster for Medicare providers, and therefore for Medicare recipients...."
On September 9, 2010, the Wall Street Journal reported:
"Altogether, ObamaCare cuts $818 billion from Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) from 2014-2023, the first 10 years of its full implementation, and $3.2 trillion over the first 20 years, 2014-2033. Adding in ObamaCare cuts for Medicare Part B (physicians fees and other services) brings the total cut to $1.05 trillion over the first 10 years and $4.95 trillion over the first 20 years."
Paul Ryan's plan for Medicare reforms it, brings competition into it, and streamlines it. Also, Paul Ryan's plan does not impact anyone over the age of 55. Paul Ryan is not the one pushing granny over the cliff. Hopefully the people who see this ad are smart enough to realize that.
I realize that already since i saw it.
and this is getting huge.
