I'm 54 years old, so the Ryan Medicare plan affects me directly. I know the country has no choice but to substantitally reduce the amount of money spent on Medicare for the baby boomers; it is simply unaffordable. I also think in our country, which values individualism and self-reliance, it is every American's responsibility to save for retirement. Is Mr Grijalva's proposal simply to stick our kids with the $182,00 bill? That runs against our values and financial common sense. Let's face up to the truth: even if taxes are raised (which I support), either care for seniors must be reduced, or they must pay more of he bill. Now we can begin the discussion of the real issue, the proper balance among those three. I hope Mr Grijalva will move on from the scare tactics to these real issues. Thank you.
