Wasn't trolling. You said he was a businessman. I'm saying he isn't exactly a successful one.
he is a successful one
Of course he is. I just don't think he is electable. Unfortunately qualifications often have little to do with a successful candidacy. In fact sometimes personal economic success becomes a liability. (Resentment)

I thought tall poppy syndrome was less prevalent in the US? Certainly far far far less so than here.

well you need to pay my salary and fly delta...aint gonna give them to you if you fly united
We'll have to see if Delta has the best prices. And when I'm flying. I'll let you know...if srs.11 Bravo wrote:

Problem is that it's a 2-stop trip flying Delta, each way. Coming back, I'll have a 16-month-old (will probably need the lounge more, then ). Trying to minimize layovers, except the first stop in the US, to account for customs.
If I fly United, I can go 1-stop. But ticket prices are starting to climb exponentially.
Should find out travel dates today. I'll PM.

True. Here's the best the Republicans have to offer.
So what he wants to do is hand a giant chunk of money to insurance companies in the form of premium subsidies for old people (in place of Medicare). Sounds swell right? Except all government subsidies do is raise prices. If you announced to the country that all cab rides would have the first $5 of their fare subsidized by the government, cab fares would instantly shoot up $5 across the board. This is not conjecture, this is what happens every time the federal government raises the subsidy for college tuition, or raises the payouts for Medicare.
Paul Ryan is supposed to be the Republicans budget hawk but every proposal he's floated has been worse than what's currently in place. The guy is a turd.

Republicans will present this week a 2012 budget proposal that would cut more than $4 trillion from federal spending projected over the next decade and transform the Medicare health program for the elderly, a move that will dramatically reshape the budget debate in Washington.
The budget has been prepared by Rep. Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican and the new chairman of the House Budget Committee, and it represents the most complete attempt so far by Republicans to make good on their promises during the 2010 midterm elections to cut government spending and deficits.
Though Rep. Ryan based the Medicare portion of his budget on a previous plan created in collaboration with a Democrat, Alice Rivlin, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and long-time budget expert, the current plan isn't likely to get much Democratic support. Instead, it will set up a broad debate over spending and the role of government heading into the 2012 general election.
The plan would essentially end Medicare, which now pays most of the health-care bills for 48 million elderly and disabled Americans, as a program that directly pays those bills. Mr. Ryan and other conservatives say this is necessary because of the program's soaring costs. Medicare cost $396.5 billion in 2010 and is projected to rise to $502.8 billion in 2016. At that pace, spending on the program would have doubled between 2002 and 2016.
Mr. Ryan's proposal would apply to those currently under the age of 55, and for those Americans would convert Medicare into a "premium support" system. Participants from that group would choose from an array of private insurance plans when they reach 65 and become eligible, and the government would pay about the first $15,000 in premiums. Those who are poorer or less healthy would receive bigger payments than others.
"There is nobody saying that Medicare can stay in its current path," Mr. Ryan said on Fox News Sunday. "We should not be measuring ourselves against some mythical future of Medicare that isn't sustainable."
The proposal would also convert Medicaid, the health program for the poor, into a series of block grants to give states more flexibility. And it is expected to suggest significant cuts in Social Security, while proposing fewer details on how to achieve them.
The federal government expects to spend about $275 billion in 2011 on Medicaid, the program that provides medical care to the poor and disabled, up from $117.9 billion in 2000. The Congressional Budget Office projects Medicaid spending will roughly double by 2021.
So what he wants to do is hand a giant chunk of money to insurance companies in the form of premium subsidies for old people (in place of Medicare). Sounds swell right? Except all government subsidies do is raise prices. If you announced to the country that all cab rides would have the first $5 of their fare subsidized by the government, cab fares would instantly shoot up $5 across the board.
