Defending The Ryan Plan
By Carole on Jun 17, 2011
Representative Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) appears in a new national ad countering his Democratic critics (and fellow Republican Newt Gingrich) regarding his Medicare reform plan. The ad was created by conservative seniors advocacy group 60 Plus Association and features the House Budget Chairman in several clips ably defending his proposed overhaul of the currently unsustainable entitlement program.
Surprise! Obamacare Will Drive Costs Up
By Carole on Apr 23, 2010
