Debunk (or bunk) this claim about Paul Ryan's plan

[Morgyn]

@adaher

Ryan’s plan changed in response to the special election defeats over Medicare. He reached out to Ron Wyden and they came up with a bipartisan compromise plan and that’s currently what Ryan supports. Romney supports something a little different from that, although I believe he’d sign the Ryan plan if that’s what Congress sent him.

That’s how politics is SUPPOSED to work. The Republicans passed a politically tough plan. THey got hammered for it. So they changed it in response to public rejection.

Democrats could learn from that, rather than just passing a bill the public hates and then acting as if they did nothing wrong.

Ron Wyden doesn’t think he and Ryan came up with a compromise plan. Or rather, he says he and Ryan co-wrote a policy paper, but it’s not an actual piece of legislation and it’s not the same as the plan Ryan currently says he’s supporting.

That’s because Wyden backed off under pressure, much as Robert Bennet did when he signed onto a bipartisan plan a few years back.

But it still remains Ryan’s current plan.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
