1PL is the only one here that gets it. It's all just a show to continue the advancement of power in DC. The Ryan plan is really no better than the Obama plan regarding health care. Neither party will tackle the real core problems in the health care industry. Ryan is lying to everyone over 55. He says there will be no change to their benefits. That is mathematically impossible when health care costs are rising at 9.2% every year.

By the time all you people stop arguing mule or elephant, it will be too late. As mathematics and reality will have taken a firm grip on the developed nations of the world. Reality and common sense are long gone. The people in charge are so arrogant they believe they can change the laws of mathematics. Giving a broke country emergency loans to make its interest payments while it increases taxes and regulatory fees on business while having to cut government jobs that should never have existed in the first place will somehow lead to growth and an increase in gdp so the broke nation will somehow be able to pay back all of the debt some day. Really? Let me know how that works out.

Austerity will become a household word in this country after this election no matter who wins. I can already hear Obama or Romney saying on tv, "all us Americans are going to have to accept tough choices". I'm still anxious to see how 50 million people on food stamps and 13 million (likely more) unemployed react to a reduction in their benefits! Maybe that's why DHS is buying up all the ammo? (Google is your friend)

World markets don't even care about the health of corporations they invest in. It's just momentum chasing and prayers of more liquidity injections from central banks that fix nothing in the core of the economy. This will work until it doesn't. That time is near.
