  • In July 2014, Paul Ryan released a discussion draft for a proposal targeting entitlement reform called "Opportunity Grant." Ryan proposed consolidating "up to eleven federal programs into one stream of funding to participating states. The idea would be to let states try different ways of providing aid and then to test the results—in short, more flexibility in exchange for more accountability. My thinking is, get rid of these bureaucratic formulas. Put the emphasis on results. ...Each state that wanted to participate would submit a plan to the federal government. That plan would lay out in detail the state’s proposed alternative. If everything passed muster, the federal government would give the green light. And the state would get more flexibility; it would get to combine into one stream of funding up to eleven different programs—things like food stamps, housing assistance, child care, cash welfare. This new, simpler stream of funding would become the Opportunity Grant, and it would be budget neutral. The state would get the same amount of money as under current law—not a penny less."[1]
  • Ryan introduced HR 6610 - the Roadmap for America's Future Act of 2008. The bill outlined changes to entitlement spending and focused on Medicare and Social Security.[2]
