Paul Ryan said "First of all, those are in the baseline. He put those cuts in. Second of all, we voted to repeal Obamacare repeatedly, including those cuts. I voted that way before the budget. I voted that way after the budget. So when you repeal all of Obamacare, what you end up doing is that repeals that as well. In our budget, we have restored a lot of that. It gets a little wonky but it was already in the baseline. And I just don't think the president's going to be able to get out of the fact that he took $716 billion from Medicare to pay for Obamacare." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
