House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan said he rejects the premise that President Barack Obama’s healthcare law can’t be repealed now that its first class of 7 million enrollees has signed up.
“I don’t think it can last,” Ryan said in an interview with Bloomberg Television to air on “Political Capital with Al Hunt” this weekend.
Ryan this week unveiled a budget plan that seeks to repeal the 2010 law known as Obamacare and would revise the U.S. safety net in an effort to eliminate the deficit in 10 years. The House will vote on the plan next week. House Democrats will release their alternative as soon as Monday, April 7.
The Republican budget proposal will serve as a contrast with Democrats’ fiscal priorities before the U.S. midterm election on Nov. 4. Senate Democratic leaders have said they plan to tie House members vying for Senate seats in Colorado, Montana and Louisiana to Ryan’s proposal.
“This is the fourth year we’ve passed a budget like this, fourth year we’ve said here’s how we plan on balancing the budget and paying off the debt,” Ryan said.
Ryan and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray agreed in December on a two-year budget deal that sets top-line spending at $1.014 trillion for the 2015 fiscal year that starts Oct. 1. As such, Republicans don’t have to prepare a budget, Ryan said, though “we think we should say what we believe in if we don’t like the direction the country’s headed.”

A perfect illustration of why Paul Ryan is PART OF THE PROBLEM in Washington DC and must go.
“Passing Amnesty will kill 0bamaCare.” - P. Ryan....
We should take a lesson from Social Security. Just because it’s an idiotic and unsustainable idea doesn’t mean they won’t prop it up until it becomes such a big problem that it causes our economic demise. Good Lord, we need to scrap this thing.
Good point, maybe 70 years.
So along that path of reason, maybe in 40 years from now the US will put up a Berlin wall to keep the healthy from fleeing Obamacare.
The country can't wait that long !
We are slipping into bankruptcy, and soon won't be able to afford the interest, much less pay back the principle.
It only took 70 years for the USSR to collapse.
Paul, didn’t you get the message from Nancy? We are pivoting to jobs now. The argument about Democratcare is over /sarcasm.
Hell yes, it should be repealed.
This needs repeating !

SS is one hell of a popular program (as Dems gloat), but sending out $$$ to lots and lots of people isn't that complicated and is going to be popular.
Its popular with Republicans.
Why isn’t the Congress concerned about the missing
six billion dollars at the State department?
Bingo.
He doesn’t think anyone listens to him. That’s why his eyebrows are always raised. “Did you hear me?”
????, good question.
Because they stole more than that themselves ???
‘Will Collapse Under Own Weight’!
It will not collapse. It will suck resources and grow until we collapse under its weight, unless it is stopped.
Where a failed program will die quickly and be abandoned in the private sector, a bad government program will be kept on life support for eternity.
