Road Map for America’s Future

Paul Ryan has released a package of proposals to help tackle America’s big problems.

Ryan’s bill would, among other things:

• Offer tax credits - $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for families - to buy health insurance.

• Establish Medicare payments of up to $9,500 to pay for private insurance and create medical savings accounts for out-of-pocket costs.

• Allow workers younger than 55 to invest a third of their Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts.

• Give taxpayers the choice between using the current income tax code or using a simplified tax system with two rates, 10% on taxable income of up to $100,000 for joint tax filers, 25% for income above that amount.

You have to love how hard the reporter worked to label Ryan’s plan as “conservative” and “Republican” as if that should make people immediately dismiss it.  She started with the headline.
