Paul Ryan vs Paul Ryan

I don't have a ton to say about Paul Ryan's response speech except to note it was odd that he didn't mention any of the proposals associated with Paul Ryan's "budget roadmap." He spoke at length about his desire for less spending and more limited government. But he didn't mention which programs, specifically, he wants to eliminate. Which is particularly odd because the "roadmap" calls for, among other things, the elimination of Medicare. That's kind of a big deal! If Ryan thinks we should do that, wouldn't a nationally televised addressed be a good opportunity to explain it to people?
