He's a fear-mongering liar
In a comical display of double-speak, Paul Ryan this morning on Meet the Press whined about Democrats 'fear-mongering' and 'Mediscaring' Americans by warning them his plan to privatize and destroy Medicare will privatize and destroy Medicare.

After five minutes of whining about Democrats scaring Americans by telling them the truth about what we all know Republicans would love to do to Medicare, he proceeded to fear-monger by lying about Obama's '15 person death panel'. There are no 'death panels' in the Affordable Care Act, in fact, that was 2009's 'Lie of the Year'.   And, as Think Progress reported;
According to law, the panel explicitly cannot “ration health care, raise revenues or Medicare beneficiary premiums…increase Medicare beneficiary cost-sharing (including deductibles, coinsurance, and co- payments), or otherwise restrict benefits or modify eligibility criteria.”
There are liars and there are people who are warning you what will happen if you let the liars like Paul Ryan get their way.  I do my homework.  I don't fall for liars.
