Ryan’s plan deals with Medicare, not Social Security.

His older plans dealt with privatization, but he’s dropped only recently because it’s been proven to be such a loser. Still, old people have memories and aren’t going to be quick to forget that Ryan once gave his full throated support to such a pig ignorant proposal.

Representative Paul Ryan has long wanted to let Americans invest part of their Social Security taxes in private investment accounts. After legislation he co-sponsored in 2005 went nowhere, Ryan included a detailed plan to privatize Social Security in his budget proposal in 2010. Under that plan, he would allow workers to funnel an average of roughly 40% of their payroll taxes into personal retirement accounts.
