If Romney and Ryan ran 7-Eleven

I agree with Paul Krugman that Romney/Ryan and the Republican party want to end Medicare.  Some people, including some reputable journalism organizations, say that is a lie.  But the plan they are putting forward for premium support (vouchers) will turn Medicare, which takes care of millions of seniors, into something that burdens all but the most wealthy seniors.   Of course, this is consistent with most of Romney's ideas.

The plan is equivalent to 7-Eleven giving you a 24-ounce cup filled only with 9 ounces of ice and saying it is a Big Gulp.
