Rep. Paul Ryan Criticized for Views on Social Security
The Democrats are already gearing up to attack Rep. Paul Ryan for his views on Medicare and Social Security. Ryan has spoken out about his desire to privatize the programs.
WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats on Tuesday launched a preemptive strike on Rep. Paul Ryan, who will deliver the official Republican response to President Obama’s State of the Union address.
Ryan, who turns 41 later this week, is viewed as a rising star of the party, a budget hawk who hasn’t been afraid to spark conversations about taking on entitlement programs such as Medicaid and Social Security.

With many expecting President Obama to endorse a fiscally moderate path forward in his State of the Union address next week – and perhaps call for changes to Social Security in the process — progressives are urging the president to protect entitlement programs.
The cause of liberal concern is clear: Since Republicans won back the House of Representatives in the 2010 elections, Mr. Obama has signaled he will embrace more moderate-to-conservative ideas in his next two years in office.
