On The Last Word, Anthony Weiner maneuvered Rep Jack Kingston (R-GA) into admitting that the Ryan plan ends Medicare and converts it to a voucher plan.

What's so funny about this is how hard Boehner has been working to deny it, because of course, vouchers equal privatization. So Boehner's out there laying it down saying no, it's not privatization, it's transformation. We all know it's bull but then who cares, because he's doubling down on Ryan's plan after the President's speech anyway in order to appease the Tea Party and his insurance company keepers happy.

Keep overreaching, GOP. Keep it up.
