I listened to bits of the speech on the radio and I was stunned when they said how Obama cut Medicare and they won't make any cuts to it. What other lies did he tell?

To 10:44. Love it!!!!!

I like how Mittens introduced Ryan as "the Next President of the United States." It seems a lot of Republicans wish that were the case. One of the big stories in coming months will be how Romney avoids being overshadowed by his VP choice.

Ryan was voted "Biggest Brown Noser" by his high school senior class.

Now think back to your own high school - would you vote for the "Biggest Brown Noser" from your senior class?

No, Mitt and company. The republican party is a joke.

Think what you will, but listen to Mr. Ryan and you'll see that his selection is not a joke.

Ryan is pretty socialist. He is one of those "welfare bucks". Didn't he receive social security pay outs in high school?

If under 54 add $200-300k for medical expenses

FINANCIAL SAMURAI 401K RETIREMENT SAVINGS GUIDELINE

Age Years Worked Low End High End
22 0 $0 $0
23 1 $8,000 $17,000
24 2 $25,000 $37,000
25 3 $42,000 $70,000
30 8 $127,000 $182,000
35 13 $215,000 $331,000
40 18 $300,000 $521,000
45 23 $383,000 $764,000
50 28 $468,000 $1,075,000
55 33 $553,000 $1,470,000
60 38 $638,000 $1,974,000
65 43 $723,000 $2,618,000
From the results, we can conclude that even after 43 years of consistent saving, you only have around $723,000 to $2,618000 in your 401K.  Let’s say you live for 20 years after retirement, you only get to live on $36,000 – $131,000.  If goodness forbid you live to age 95, then you can only live off of $24,000 – $87,000 a year!

We know from simple economics that thanks to inflation, a dollar today will not go as far as a dollar 40 years from now.  Private school tuition will probably cost over $100,000 a year in 20 years, so who knows what medical, food, shelter and energy costs will cost then.  One thing is for sure, prices will be much higher.

He's very intelligent and can articulate his message extremely well. Young with a cute family. Wife's an attorney. No Sarah Palin here!

Ugh! Pompous ass + pompous ass. Done and done (as in it's over).

After hearing ryan's speach he sounds like obama, very articulate and a good speaker. His childhood roots shows he is intouch with the middle class .
