U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan said Monday that the Republican Party needs to show the nation that it has a better set of solutions "for fixing the real anxieties people have in their lives."continue at JS
"I think we lost the war on poverty. We need to fix it. I think we have a debt crisis coming. We need to be clear about that, and prevent that from happening."
Without providing specifics, the House budget chair said education is a priority for him as well as more job training, especially for middle-age people whose careers have gone off track.
The congressman from Janesville said he will continue to press for tax reform and his own plan for Medicare.
"The reason why this (his Medicare) plan is not dead in the water is because as Obamacare rolls in, and its effects on Medicare are being borne, I believe premium support will compare even more favorably," he said.
Ryan has used the words "premium support" before to describe what his opponents have called vouchers. He has promised that his plan to provide payments that future retirees would use to purchase private insurance would not affect seniors already in the program.
Ryan met Monday with Journal Sentinel editors and reporters.
There's video out there to see what he actually said during the interview.
