GOP congressman admits Paul Ryan, GOP will “end” Medicare

[truebluefan]

Outspoken Illinois Republican congressman Joe Walsh admitted yesterday that Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, and House Republicans in Washington, DC, plan to “end” Medicare.

Walsh was being attacked by his Democratic opponent, Tammy Duckworth, who accused the House GOP budget plan, authored by Paul Ryan, of “ending Medicare as we know it.” Walsh, remarkably, agreed.

The House GOP budget plan, [Duckworth] said, “would end Medicare as we know it.” But Walsh responded, “If we don’t end it as it is, it’s going to end as we know it all by itself.”

While Republicans have in the past admitted that they want “change” or “reform” Medicare, I don’t think anyone has publicly admitted that Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, and the House Republicans at large, plan to “end” Medicare.
