WASHINGTON -- No matter which sides prevails in the intensely ideological and partisan debate in Washington over the mushrooming costs of Medicare, one thing is certain: The program as we know it is in for big changes. Driving the sharply competing revisions outlined by President Barack Obama and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, RWis., is the realization that it is nearly impossible to balance the federal budget without changing Medicare or the way it is financed.

Congressional Republicans wasted no time Sunday dismissing the "Buffett Rule," President Obama's proposal to raise taxes on millionaires, a day before Mr. Obama was poised to outline measures to cut the federal deficit by some $2 trillion. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, said raising taxes "is a bad thing to do in the middle of an economic downturn," and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, Wisconsin Republican, called the proposal "class warfare.

If House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan succeeds in turning federal entitlement programs into block grants to the states, then food-stamp allocations, which now expand or contract with need, would get even smaller. I asked Angela Smith-Dieng of Hunger Free Vermont what that would mean for Vermont. "Vermont would either have to decrease the benefits or create a waiting list," she said, "because we wouldn't be able to serve everyone. Some of the responses, maybe all, were predictable. There was liberal bashing ("Liberals starving themselves to death, I just can't get the smile off my face") and sissy-liberal union bashing ("Don't tell me, you're a white girl or a feminine guy that became a teacher and you believe the crap that the union tells you"), fast-specific fat-liberal bashing...

In 1983, the British Labor Party under the hard-left Michael Foot issued a 700-page manifesto so radical that one colleague called it "the longest suicide note in history."

That depends on whether (a) President Obama counters with a deficit-reduction plan of equal seriousness, rather than just demagoguing the Ryan plan till next Election Day, (b) there are any Republicans beyond the measured, super-wonky Ryan who can explain and defend a plan of such daunting scope and complexity, and (c) Americans are serious people.
