Paul Ryan pushing Politifact's claim that Paul Ryan isn't trying to end Medicare by lying

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is trying to get his supporters to stuff the ballot box (voter fraud!!!) at PolitiFact to make the "lie of the year" the actual true claim that the Ryan plan would end Medicare.

But what's really good is how he does it: by making claims—in this letter—that PolitiFact has already debunked.

"Our budget is the only plan that actually saves Medicare." That echoes a previous false claim by Ryan that "The president has not put forward a plan that saves Medicare from bankruptcy, even though nonpartisan experts tell us that this could happen in 9-13 short years unless we act."

The first problem with this is the claim that Medicare needs to be "saved" from "bankruptcy." Since Ryan is invoking PolitiFact in his email, let's see what they've said about this claim:

"[S]aying Medicare will go bankrupt by 2017 is a bit extreme. Only one of Medicare's funds is expected to be exhausted by that date, and Congress has never let it run dry. Lawmakers have bailed out the fund without fail for 40 years."

[...]

Which brings us to the second problem with Ryan's claim: Other plans (not just the "do nothing" plan) do more to save Medicare than Ryan's plan. Democratic plans have already strengthened Medicare. Again, let's start with PolitiFact:

"[The] overall point, that the Democrats' health reform law added to the overall solvency of Medicare, is correct. [...] [T]he Affordable Care Act improved the financial outlook for Medicare."

Hopefully PolitiFact will fact check this letter from Rep. Ryan. That'd be fun. Or not, given their track record.
