I'd like to make a point here. Condemning Medicare as 'government solution' while supporting a tax structure that is extraordinarily favorable to the wealthy, by any measure a 'government solution', is simply hypocritical.

Moreover, Paul Ryan is no more a fiscal conservative than I'm the second coming of Eldridge Cleaver. A true fiscal conservative would not have supported George W. Bush's tax cuts while at the same time voting in favor of a two front war that was going to balloon the deficit. That's not fiscal conservatism by any measure. A true fiscal conservative would have insisted that the wars, assuming they were necessary, be paid for.
