Paul Ryan's recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal; "A GOP Road Map for America's Future" http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703808904575025080017959478.html#articleTabs%3Darticle This article reeks of "Me too" republicans. Not only is he vague about the health care reforms in his plan, he continues to advocate government control of health care by continuing medicare and state-aided health care. Furthermore, he continues to advocate for government control of social security, by only allowing us to invest a third of our Social security taxes into private accounts. Thanks, by I'd rather not pay any payroll tax and decide for myself what to do with my earned money. I would really appreciate it if you could write a post about Rep.

One fact that you did not mention--and perhaps it requires a longer article to talk about the consequences of these policies--is that through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac most home loans have effectively been nationalized http://www.investorsinsight.com/blogs/john_mauldins_outside_the_box/archive/2010/01/25/an-insider-s-view-of-the-real-estate-train-wreck2.aspx And some people wonder how we got into such a bad situation with the housing market. Is it any wonder that yet another government program is in trouble with everyone involved? Did I mention that the Federal Reserve has monetized a trillion dollars of mortgage backed securities since the beginning of last year? What that means is that with a single act the Federal Reserve increased the money supply--a tax on everyone--and handed the bill from the mortgages that default to the taxpayers? Regards, Daniel Hello Alex,
