Rep. Paul Ryan did an interview with Human Events Online regarding his Social Security plan. Follow the link to the whole thing. Here's a part of Ryan's plan I wasn't aware of:

So if your investments pay only $1,000 a month and Social Security would give you $2,000 a month, the government would make up the difference?

RYAN
: Exactly. The government makes you whole. It's affordable because the government benefit grows at a certain pace and the market grows at a much better pace.

Now what if the government benefit was $2,000 and your investments are paying you $2,400?

RYAN: You get all $2,400, and the government's off the hook. You get zero from the government.

So somebody is saying what I wanted to hear.

Can I come over there and vote next time?

Al, c'mon down and stay with us in Janesville, Ryan's hometown, and if the legislature doesn't pass that voter ID bill or if Doyle vetoes it, we can use Democratic tactics and get you a vote, or maybe two...
