well, i have my budget plan, as you know, that i have put out, and that s the budget plan that we re going to run on. and again this sunday romney had to distance himself from ryan s positions and assert that he s the man at the top of the ticket. let s listen. the president s cutting $716 billion from current medicare. i disagree with that. i d put those dollars back into medicare. mr. ryan has proposed something similar, almost precisely the same number, 716. he was going to use that money to reduce the budget deficit. i m putting it back into medicare and i m the guy running for president. well, what a miserable time he has. all he does is defend himself against paul ryan s budget and he put the guy on the ticket. chris, i remember when this happened. when you put ryan on the ticket, a lot of democrats said, okay, it s over, we ve got it. and i was skeptical about that when they said it, and i think a lot of us who like to hear intellectual debates about policy said, g
from it. i agree, it s a line that s been used before. it s a line that s been drawn before, but it turns out not to work politically. i want to get to something that really is wild. by the way, here it is again, we ll get to this first. in the first interview romney and ryan gave after ryan joined the ticket, bob schieffer pointed out ryan budget plan, including his plan to voucherize, that s a great word, medicare, could be trouble for romney. let s listen. there s no question your campaign has been trying to make this a election a referendum on barack obama. now some people are saying you are making it a referendum on paul ryan s budget plan. well, i have my budget plan, as you know, that i have put out, and that s the budget plan that we re going to run on. and again this sunday romney had to distance himself from ryan s positions and assert that he s the man at the top of the ticket. let s listen. the president s cutting $716 billion from current medicare. i disagree wit
we know it won t sell to you. yes, what it sends a message is we know this is unpalatable so we re going to keep you away from it. i agree, it s a line that s been used before. it s a line that s been drawn before, but it turns out not to work politically. i want to get to something that really is wild. by the way, here it is again, we ll get to this first. in the first interview romney and ryan gave after ryan joined the ticket, bob schieffer pointed out ryan budget plan, including his plan to voucherize, that s a great word, medicare, could be trouble for romney. let s listen. there s no question your campaign has been trying to make this a election a referendum on barack obama. now some people are saying you are making it a referendum on paul ryan s budget plan. well, i have my budget plan, as you know, that i have put out, and that s the budget plan that we re going to run on. and again this sunday romney had to distance himself from ryan s positions and assert that he s
