BREAKING! Paul Ryan Proposes Greatest Threat To Freedom In Known Human History!
This is indeed a good point — based on the ad hoc constitutional arguments made by most Republicans, Paul Ryan is proposing to completely destroy American freedom by replacing Medicare with a mandate to purchase insurance. I expect him to force Americans to eat fried cheese curds next!
Of course, Republicans will just go back to the correct position that there’s nothing unconstitutional about mandates — just as they did when Social Security privatization was being proposed. Ryan’s plan is just an excellent illustration of how unserious the argument always was.
