Paul Ryan’s House Budget Committee is currently questioning HHS secretary Sebelius on the future of Medicare (Douglas Holtz-Eakin and Grace-Marie Turner are also testifying). I blogged of President Obama’s press conference yesterday that POTUS’s comments on Medicare could have come right from Ryan’s press shop. The congressman seems to agree. From his opening statement:

“Due in large part to this committee’s efforts, I believe that the debate is shifting to better reflect Medicare’s inescapable math. President Obama was exactly right when he stated yesterday:’If you look at the numbers, Medicare in particular will run out of money, and we will not be able to sustain that program no matter how much taxes go up. It’s not an option for us to just sit by and do nothing.’”

Ryan then added: “Couldn’t have said it better myself.”
