Veep Debate Violations
Ryan, Biden rough up the facts in their one and only meeting.
Summary
The Biden-Ryan debate was marked by some spirited claims that didnt
always match the facts.
Ryan at one point ground out a collection of shopworn misstatements
about the health care law that weve had to rebut time and again,
claiming 20 million people are projected to lose their health
insurance (not true), that premiums have gone up $3,000 (no, they
havent) and that 7.4 million seniors are going to lose Medicare
Advantage plans (maybe, but theyd still be covered by traditional
Medicare).
And both Biden and Ryan continued to twist the facts about Romneys
tax plan. Biden again misrepresented the findings of the nonpartisan
Tax Policy Center, and Ryan repeated a misleading claim that six
studies have verified that the plan is mathematically possible.
