 This article gives me a head ache. Perhaps it is from cognitive dissonance. Republicans are for people setting money aside on their own and not depending too much on the government. Now you are pointing to something in what Paul Ryan said that might have unintended consequences. This is why, unlike ObamaCare legislation, this type of bill should be drawn up out in the open with comment and suggestions from both sides of the aisles. Imperfections like this, if that is what it is, can be corrected and eliminated if full discourse is allowed. What a difference there could have been if the Health bill and the Dodd/Frankf financial bill were legislated in the light of day instead of how theywere. And now we are burdened with all their unintended consequence.
