Given that everyone concedes these programs are on a collision course with insolvency (and could very well bring down the government as a whole unless we fix them), what's the plan to save them (if not Ryan's)?
In this question I am going to assume--safely---that many of you never gave Ryan's plan a chance b/c, well, it came from a Republican. Fine. What's the counterproposal?
Of course, the Dems could refuse to take anything other than a short-sighted, political posture, run against system-salvaging reform, and hope that our country doesn't crash on their watch. I hope they can put their country before their party and at least offer a serious attempt at saving the system from itself.
