>> >Newt Gingrich slams Paul Ryan's plan to overhaul Medicare Ten, do YOU think "right wing social engineering" is any better than "left wing social engineering"? Ryan's plan is better than nothing. But I can't blame Gingrich for thinking he has a better idea. He may be wrong, of course, but he was wrongly criticized for the remark. Gingrich's point was entirely sensible if you listen to the entire interview: He was simply pointing out that rather than having the Right impose fundamental changes on the Medicare system (as Harry Reid did with Obamacare), it makes sense to have a "national conversation" about it and try to reach some consensus. There has been no workable, truthful approach to Medicare reform. I think Gingrich was just pointing out that fact. Ryan was making a valiant effort to come up with something, but would you argue there isn't a better way to go about it?
