April 6 (Bloomberg) - Republican whereas the presidential race have Rapids adopt plan of House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan to reduce the US budget deficit, an action plan likely to frame the debate on the topic spending federal elections next year and stimulate democratic attacks.
The proposal published yesterday by Ryan, a Republican from Wisconsin, would cut more than $ 6 billion over the next decade of Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and scores of other programs. It calls for the biggest overhaul of federal benefits since President George w. Bush failed 2005 attempt to remodel the Social Democrats Security.With controlling the Senate, Ryan plan is unlikely to become law. Still, the Republican betting that voters accept the push for deep, reduced spending and a restructuring of the programmes of health care of the Government in exchange for financial stability in the long term to put the candidates of the party in a perilous situationsaid Stanley Collender, Director General of Qorvis Communications and the former congressional budget analyst. "It is a real nightmare for a presidential candidate," said Collender. "" " Medicare is every bit as toxic as taxes. "The potential presidential candidates 2012 Republican applauded plan Ryan, although they avoided comment on its details. "True Leadership'" the American people finally have someone providing real leadership in Washington, "Governor of Minnesota Tim Pawlenty said in a statement. "We need to get order in our tax House with actual spending reductions and real structural reforms stop spree expenditure before it bankrupts this country".The former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney, another potential candidate for 2012, said Ryan is "giving the tone just to finally get spending and payments under control".Sarah Palin, former Alaska Governor and Republican 2008 vice presidential candidate, has used his Twitter account to say: "there is hope!" Serious leadership & necessary rolls out proposal for serious & necessary reform. Good start. "Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has praised the plan for being"focused on debt reduction and job creation, the two main issues here, the American people sent us to the address". She also said that it is "evidence" that the House Republican majority "is taking the calls of the American people to reduce their spending".John Feehery, who, from 1999 to 2005, was the spokesman for the top of the page to then-House Speaker Dennis Hastert, a Republican from Illinois, says that potential candidates must rent the plan because it is consistent with the opinion of a large number of those which determine the candidates of the party. "You want to save the primary voter, and it should appeal to the Republican primary voter, said Feehery, now a political consultant with the Washington firm Quinn Gillespie & Associates. "Juicy Targets'In the general election, however, the proposal is fodder for"a cluster of juicy targets for the announcements of 30 seconds"to be run against the Republicans, said Feehery. "Whenever you talk about change the Medicare program, it is likely," said.Representative Steven LaTourrette, a Republican from Ohio has offered a similar assessment. "These hard times call for a bold budget," he said of the Ryan plan. "But in the same way, one should not be confused that we did not just not delivered a softball for the Democrats, but a beach ball that they will hit out of the Park."."Democrats pouring on the proposal of"."They end up essentially Medicare as we know it,", said the representative Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee. "They reform it.". They distort it. "Deficit and debt already have emerged as key issues for the 2012 campaign, with a potential Republican candidates saying the nation is led to financial ruin, unless the leaders to tackle the Government expenditure.Survey FindingsWhile voters say they want politicians to tame the Federal deficit, surveys show that they want a lot of rights such as health insurance and social security or many programs of discretionary spending. In a March survey National of Bloomberg, the Federal deficit and the second ranking government expenditure in importance - behind unemployment and jobs - when have asked respondents to rank five issues in the nation.Still, the majorities rejected significant reductions in community programs that serve the Americans of low income, medical and scientific research, education and Environmental Protection Agency. More than three-quarters of the respondents oppose any reduction of insurance benefits. "That all polls show that people want the Government to do less, they want just for cheaper," said Collender.Proposition DetailsRyan of the plan would end Medicare as a program, open-ended right, replacing those currently less than 55 years with a plan to provide subsidies for the purchase of health insurance " privacy in the private market. It would impose more steep reductions on Medicaid, cutting the plan of health insurance for Americans of low income by more than 700 billion over the next 10 years.During the campaign last year, Republican leaders distance themselves from proposals for Ryan, saying that they were not formal ideas of the party. Now, after an election in which Republican candidates ran on the fight against the deficit and take control of the House, many said that the party had no choice but to adopt an ambitious plan of budget cuts. "" We are in the majority and we have to lead, "said Representative Mike Simpson of Idaho.Ryan said Republicans should embrace changes in law to avoid fiscal insolvency for the Cause of U.S. 'A' "we cannot continue on the path of fearing that the other political party will do for us if we try to solve a problem" he told journalists yesterday. "This is not a budget, it is a cause.That issue could create problems next year for legislators as representative Lou Barletta, a freshman who said his district of Pennsylvania has the largest percentage of the State of the elderly. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee targeted Barletta to only consider the proposals by Mr. Ryan. "It's a plan that will not affect the elderly"who now have health insurance benefits, he said to reporters on Capitol Hill.
