Here is a list of five lies that Paul Ryan told when he gave his speech at the Republican National Convention. Every single news outlet should report on these lies.
1. Lie: President Obama is the "greatest threat" to Medicare.
Truth: Obama didn't make any cuts to Medicare benefits; he made cuts to provider reimbursements, to improve cost efficiency and extend the fiscal security of Medicare by eight years. According to the Medicare actuary, "[Obama's] Affordable Care Act makes important changes to the Medicare program and substantially improves its financial outlook
OBAMA TOO $716 BILLION DOLLARS FROM MEDICARE AND TRANSFERRED IT TO OBAMACARE RATHER THAN USING THOSE CUTS TO STRENGTHEN THE COMING BANKRUPTCY OG MEDICARE - ALSO THOSE CUTS WILL MAKE MORE DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS DROP MEDICARE AS THEY DO MEDICAID NOW BECAUSE OF LOW REIMBURSENEMENTS.
But Ryan actually does want to cut benefits. He proposed dismantling Medicare and replacing it with a voucher system, leaving millions of seniors to come up with more money to pay for care out of pocket.
2. Lie: President Obama didn't save a General Motors plant in Wisconsin.
Truth: First, Obama wasn't even in office when the GM plant closed. Second, Obama never made a promise to save it
THE GM PLANT IN JANESVILLE CLOSED IN APRIL OF 2009. ALSO: WHILE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2008, OBAMA PROMISED - IN A SPPECG - THATT HE JANESVILLE PLANT WILL STILL BE OPERATING 100 YEARS FROM NOW IF HE IS ELECTED PRESIDENT.
HOW DID THAT PROMISE GO?
.3. Lie: President Obama ignored recommendations of a bipartisan debt commission.
Truth: Paul Ryan actually sat on that commission. And he led Republicans in voting down the commission's own recommendation. So the commission never gave a report to Obama, because Ryan himself voted to kill the report before it could.
RYAN VOTED DOWN THE BIPARTISAN COMMINSSIO NRECOMENDATION BECAUSE IT STILL INCLUDED OBAMACARE AND HE PROPOSED A NEW PLAN WITHOUT OBAMACARE WHICH IS THE REASON HE DID NOT VOTE FOR THE COMMISSION'S RECOMENDATIONS..
WHY DID OBAMA NOT EVEN CONSIDER THE COMMISSION'S FINDINGS? HE IS THE PRESIDENT.
4. Lie: President Obama is responsible for the downgrading of the U.S. Credit Rating
Truth: House Republicans, including Paul Ryan, held the full faith and credit of the United States hostage to try to ransom it for trillions of dollars in cuts to social programs without increasing taxes on the wealthy one dime. Standard & Poors said specifically, "We have changed our assumption on [revenue] because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues." That's why our nation's credit rating was downgraded.
OBAMA HAD IHIS OWN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATE FOR TW0 FULL YEARS. WHY DID NOT OBAMA IMPROVE THE CREDIT RATING OF THE U.S.? IF WE HAD MORE JOBS - THEY WOULD INCREASE TAX REVENUES AND THEN TAX INCREASES WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY.
5. Lie: Ryan wants to protect the "weak."
Truth: Ryan's biggest feat in his political career was proposing a budget with dramatic cuts to programs benefiting the poor. He'd cut Medicaid by one third, take away health care insurance from 30 million Americans, and cut Pell Grants for 1 million students. All so that he could give more tax breaks to the rich.
IF THE LIBERAL COLEGES WOULD CUT THEIR COSTS, MPORE STUDENTS COULD AFOD COLLEGE ALSO. WE ARE VIRTUALLY A BANKRUPT NATION THAT PAYS MORE INTEREST ON OUR DEBTS EACH YEAR THAN THE IRAQ AND AGHANISTAN AND ANY OTHER WARS COST EACH YEAR ALL PUT TOGETHER.
PAY DOWN OIR DEBT, AND CREATE JOBS AND PERHAPS WE CAN INCREADE PELL GRANTS.
YOU DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A CLUE WHY COSTS MUST BE CUT
DEMOCRATS HAVENOT PASSED A BUDGET IN FOUR YEARS - SO WE CAN'T SAY RAYAN WANTS TO CUT ANYNE'S BUDGET. PAUL RYAN IS THE ONLY ONE IN GOVERNMENTY WHO HAS PROPOSED A BUDGET. OBAMA'S BUDGET GOT ZERO VOTES WHEN HE PROPOSED ONE. PAUL RYANS BUSGET GOT MANY MORE VOTES THAN OBAMA'S ZERO VOTES.
