Paul Ryan: We didn’t lose on Medicare

In his first post-Election Day television interview, former GOP vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan said Monday that he doesn’t believe that the 2012 White House campaign was a referendum on his plan to cut the federal budget and overhaul entitlement programs such as Medicare. “I don’t think we lost it on those budget issues, especially on Medicare,” Ryan told Jessica Arp, a reporter for Madison CBS affiliate WISC-TV, when asked whether the race was a referendum on his budget blueprint.
