Bloody well been telling the lot of you. Paul Ryan is the Establishment play. They are trying bloody hard to keep the 'candidate' light off him while he rolls out carefully crafted issue after issue to give him a track record as a reformer to rival Rand.
This latest piece is actually a nice market based management reform on the face of it. Its probably hellish in the details.
But this is the guy we will be running against. Dollars to donuts.
Washington (CNN) – Rep. Paul Ryan spelled out his plan Thursday to fight poverty, a pilot program that would combine 11 federal programs into one pool of money for participating states.
According to the plan, which the Wisconsin Republican detailed at the American Enterprise Institute, states would voluntarily submit their own anti-poverty proposals in order to get money.The program would consist of four criteria: Each state would have to spend all its allotted money on people in need; recipients would have to meet work requirements; states would each use at least two service providers to carry out their proposals (in other words, the state social welfare office wouldn’t do all the work); and a third party would monitor the state’s progress.
Ryan stressed that the point of the program is to measure the results in each state to find the best approach.
“We would not expand the program until all the evidence was in,” he said. “The point is, don't just pass a law and hope for the best. If you've got an idea, let's test it and see the results.”politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/07/24/paul-ryan-to-spell-out-proposal-to-help-the-poor-3/?hpt=po_t1For his part, Ryan has been visiting urban communities and meeting with non-traditional Republican voters to assess what’s needed to fight poverty, using conservative principles.
He released a 204-page report earlier this year on the current state of federal efforts to alleviate poverty, listing 92 programs designed to help the poor at a cost of $799 billion.
Rand is freaking the establishment right out. They have a nice substitute warming up on the bench... When Rand takes the scheduled hit, Ryan will walk on to the field as the new GOP media darling, triumphantly carrying all of Rand's signature issues.
That's the play.
