Romney and Ryan defend their stance on Medicare, but CBS won't play it.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan sat down with "Face the Nation" anchor Bob Schieffer for their first joint interview. Schieffer brought up the headline of the The Miami Tribune: "Ryan Could Hurt Romney in Florida," with subtitle: "Paul Ryan's Plans to retool Medicare pose challenges in Florida."

Romney's said, "Think of that, by the way. There’s only one president that I know of in history that robbed Medicare, $716 billion to pay for a new risky program of his own that we call Obamacare. What Paul Ryan and I have talked about is saving Medicare, is providing people greater choice in Medicare, making sure it’s there for current seniors. No changes, by the way, for current seniors, or those nearing retirement. But looking for young people down the road and saying, “We’re going to give you a bigger choice.” In America, the nature of this country has been giving people more freedom, more choices. That’s how we make Medicare work down the road.”

60 Minutes didn’t even air Ryan’s response:

Ryan added, “My mom is a Medicare senior in Florida. Our point is we need to preserve their benefits, because government made promises to them that they’ve organized their retirements around. In order to make sure we can do that, you must reform it for those of us who are younger. And we think these reforms are good reforms. That have bipartisan origins. They started from the Clinton commission in the late ’90s.”

If you are 65-years-old or older and currently receiving Medicare benefits, Ryan’s proposed budget would not affect you. His proposal will “gradually increase Medicare’s eligibility age from 65 to 67,” but that would not start until 2023, still 11 years away. Romney’s proposals for Medicare also will not affect those retired or approaching retirement.

Do not believe the biased media's smoke, mirrors and lies. Educate yourself. Get two other sources to back up what they're discussing. How about the video footage of Paul Ryan explaining to Obama how Obama's so-called budget was just gimmicks, talking money from one program into another, and then the first program, etc. One favorite of mine is Paul Ryan at the Health Care Summitt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyjuXvho-O8&feature=player_embedded.
