What does the Paul Ryan budget plan do?
Here are some of the
Repeals the Financial Regulations that are part of the Dodd-Frank Act
Cuts Medicaid and food for the poor
Repeals the Affordable Care Act
Cuts Pell Grants for college students
Privatizes Medicare
Makes the Bush tax cuts permanent
Lowers corporate tax cuts to 25%
Veteranstoday explains Ryan's plan to privatize Social Security:
....Ryan’s Roadmap puts Americans on the path of privatizing entitlement programs, such as Social Security. The plan boasts about “the creation of personal investment accounts for future retirees” that are “the property of the individual.” (Emphasis in the original document). “Individuals will be able to join the investor class for the first time,” the Roadmap says. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) notes that “the Ryan plan proposes large cuts in Social Security benefits — roughly 16 percent for the average new retiree in 2050 and 28 percent in 2080 from price indexing alone.”.......the Roadmap “would eliminate traditional Medicare, most of Medicaid, and all of the Children’s Health Insurance Program” by creating a private voucher system that won’t keep up with the cost of health care.....
{NOTE: Just in case you might be interested...... Republican Rep. Paul Ryan received Social Security benefits following this father's death (see Colorado Independent).}
Keep in mind that Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, the member of the U.S. House of Representatives that represents most of the Ohio State campus, voted for the Paul Ryan bill. To all those college students at OSU, Stivers seeks to cut your Pell grants.

>>>>>> What a surprise! Not!
According to the Dispatch, the governor said "....he was unaware that Spectrum and Moelis have done work for casino companies...":
Two companies hired to make sure Ohio maximizes its take from casinos and other gambling interests have worked for some of those same interests.
The companies, each of which will be paid $400 an hour to advise the state on all things gambling, have worked with casino operators that will open venues in Ohio.
However, neither Moelis & Co. of Los Angeles nor Spectrum Gaming Group of Linwood, N.J., currently is doing business with Rock Ohio Caesars, which is building casinos in Cleveland and Cincinnati, or Penn National Gaming, which will have casinos in Columbus and Toledo.....
$400 an hour??? Kasich was "unaware" of these people's background????? Why is he "unaware" of their work experience?
