>> I don't believe that for a moment. It's much more valuable as a fire-fanning weapon against the other guys.

I believe there are a lot of Republicans who believe as I do, that the only way to deal with this law is to rip it out by its roots. True, they have nothing with which to replace it. But the "good" provisions are going to stick for good, which is a great success for Obama, but it should be done in some orderly way.

While I don't like the direction Paul Ryan has started off, I understand why he has done it and he may be right. I believe he is a good man to straighten this mess out, if anyone can. And I don't agree that he wants it as a political weapon. Some do, but I don't think that's him.

>> As we've said many times on this thread, once you put an entitlement program into place, the benefits become the new default. You can't just rip it out.

You can if you put something in place as a transition rule for those who lose benefits. It is how it has to be done but I don't think it is that difficult to accommodate the situation.
