Under the Ryan Plan:
-People that want to receive medicare coverage will be given a 1 hour head start while a small group of billionaires hunt them down in Land Rovers. The last geriatric standing will get 3 months of medication and a first aid kit. The wheel chairs and oxygen tanks of the losers will be melted down and made into golf clubs.
-Those that apply for Medicaid coverage will lead into a small room, where they will be ground into a fine paste and will be fed to race horses as part of a high protein diet.
-Individuals applying for food stamps will be charged a nominal fee to borrow a revolver to shoot themselves in the head. If it takes more than one bullet, the cost will be passed on to subsequent generations.
-Unemployment Insurance will be replaced by a system where people provide manual labor for wealthy plantation owners in exchange for whippings.
-Universal Health Care coverage will be replaced by Saw style torture devices where people learn to shut their mouths and appreciate their monthly pittance.
-Serfs will now be allowed to have 3 turnips per day or 1.5 pieces of stale bread and a bowl of sawdust.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney weighed in on the political stature of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) while speaking at an event in Texas on Wednesday, the Houston Chronicle's "Fuel Fix" blog reports.
"I worship the ground the Paul Ryan walks on," he said of the House Budget Committee Chairman. "I hope he doesn't run for president because that would ruin a good man who has a lot of work to do."
