Agreed. Fiscally conservative arguments work best when broken down to the brass tacks, and not in populist sound bites. Unfortunately, we see far to few politicians in general willing to trust that the American people want or have the capacity to absorb such information.

Universal Healthcare is a very attractive concept, and if you're going to take a stand against a government overhaul to achieve that ideal you had better be very detailed and thorough in your reasoning and opposition. You'll never win the argument otherwise because emotion and the ideal of equality/justice will prevail.

Hopefully Paul Ryan will get fact checked within the next 24 hours here. If he's not, then this will be an epic failure on the part of the media.
