“Ryan Voted Against Protecting Social Security and Medicare. On August 2, 2001, Ryan voted against a motion to recommit HR 4 to the House Ways and Means Committee with instructions to add language providing that tax reductions be contingent on sufficient non-Social Security, non-Medicare surpluses. The House rejected the motion 206-223. [Roll Call 319, H 4, 08/02/2001]”
