Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the master political strategist for Senate Democrats, wants to turn Ryan into a bogeyman that voters think about whenever they hear about a Republican proposal to cut federal spending.


Schumer's strategy reflects an effort to revitalize a party messaging operation that many Democrats say fell apart after Obama won the White House. Senate Democrats face a daunting political map in 2012 and are looking to launch early, coordinated attacks on Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) new majority. 

Schumer’s strategy is to highlight the link between GOP efforts to cut as much as $50 billion from the federal budget and a “roadmap” to create private accounts for Social Security and Medicare that Ryan created.

“This is an initial volley in a three-day effort — 72-hour window — to try to muddle Paul Ryan’s foray onto the national scene,” said a senior Senate Democratic aide. “We want to make the House Republicans or Republicans at large own his roadmap and what it would entail for Social Security.”

 Ryan introduced a fiscal roadmap last year that would allow workers under the age of 55 the option of investing over a third of their Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts similar to the Thrift Savings Plan available to federal employees. He has also proposed raising the retirement age by one month every two years until it reaches the age of 70.

Ryan’s “Roadmap for America’s Future” also called for creating a voucher program to replace traditional Medicare and transforming Medicaid into a block-grant program. Under Ryan’s plan to transform Medicare, beneficiaries would receive on average an $11,000 grant to purchase certified plans on the open market.

Ryan argues this would allow market forces to control the spiraling cost of healthcare and reduce the frequency of government overpayment for services.

“It’s clear from the Republican Party’s selection of Paul Ryan to be spokesman and the decision to vote on giving him unfettered control on what to cut that [Republicans] are getting behind his plan, and that makes clear they’re coming after Social Security and Medicare,” Whitehouse told reporters.
