Ok, just because I found this article left open in my browser, a bit that supports my understanding of Romney and Medicare. After reading Brooks I was afraid I was hallucinating or something.

Mitt Romney tries to explain Medicare stance

Mitt Romney attempted on Thursday to boil down his Medicare plan to a simple explanation: “No change” and “Solvent.”

Those were the words he scrawled on a whiteboard at a last-minute news conference in Greer, S.C. this afternoon as he attempted to address questions about whether his plan is identical to that of Paul Ryan’s. Romney chose Ryan as his running mate last weekend, and the Wisconsin lawmaker is best known for a budget-slashing effort that would convert Medicare into a voucher program for some future seniors. theatlanticwire.com

WTF, as they say. Did Willard come up with a brave new proposal this weekend while I was looking, or did Brooks just make a bunch of crap up, in the well-worn Republican fashion? "Rampant pragmatism"? Brooks seems to be dealing in rampant BS.
