HOWARD FINEMAN: The good thing for the president is the Paul Ryan Medicare plan, because it makes people angry. And, first of all, it scares seniors —

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well, it should —

FINEMAN: Yes, and it should. But at the same time, it exempts 55 and over, so it’s going to really annoy younger people who are going to at some point get — supposed to get the Medicare benefits — 40 to 55. . . .

MATTHEWS: So the plan is the president says, “Look, let them offer a big slash in Medicare,” which is going to kill half the people who watch this show. . .

Note: Earlier today Tingles claimed Ryan’s plan would kill 30,000 people.
