Steelman Trying To Have It All Ways On Ryan/Akin Medicare Plan
After criticizing the core component of the plan to eliminate Medicare as we know it put forward by Rep. Paul Ryan, Todd Akin and supported by the full GOP delegation in Washington, Sarah Steelman says it's not right to say she opposes or supports the plan.
Here's audio of an interview conducted late yesterday afternoon, captured and posted by the MDP:
"I don't think it's an either/or question on the Ryan Plan. I think those people in Washington, both Republicans and Democrats, say ‘Oh you gotta take a position on this.’ Well, there's some things I like about it, there's some things I don't like about it. I'm still working through it and looking at it and as an economist, I'm going to make my own conclusions about it."
How is she "still working through it" at this point? And aren't legislators elected to cast yes or no votes on things ?
