Yup - the guy who wants to cut or kill SS was once a recipient of it!

Rep. Paul Ryan, the GOP’s most outspoken advocate for cutting and privatizing Social Security, has already benefited from Social Security himself, in the form of survivor benefits he received after his father’s untimely death.

From the age of 16, when his 55-year-old father died of a heart attack, until he was 18, Ryan received Social Security payments, which, according to a lengthy profile in WI Magazine, he put away for college.



oh look free stuff for him, not for you or your kids or your grandkids!!

Paul Ryan Used His Office To Profit From the Financial Crisis

http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2012/08/13/paul_ryan_used_inside_info_to_profit_from_the_fina ncial_crisis.html

Ryan attended a closed meeting with congressional leaders, Bush's Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on September 18, 2008. The purpose of the meeting was to disclose the coming economic meltdown and beg Congress to pass legislation to help collapsing banks. Instead of doing anything to help, Ryan left the meeting and on that very same day Paul Ryan sold shares of stock he owned in several troubled banks and reinvested the proceeds in Goldman Sachs, a bank that the meeting had disclosed was not in trouble.


The Party of Self-Responsibility strikes again - this marriage of scoundrels will not succeed with "transparency"

Ryan is about as interesting as watching paint dry, yet he still almost overwhelms Romney.

If you're still pissed off about all that crazy shit FDR did, Ryan is your man.

It's a bizarre choice for VP. What's the point in choosing a guy who appeals to the GOP's core voters? They're going to vote Republican anyway.

Tom Morello rips Rage Against the Machine fan Paul Ryan

from LATimes (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-tom-morello-rips-into-rage-against-the-machine-fan-paul-ryan-20120817,0,1273665.story)


The 42-year-old Ryan has touted his Rage fandom in the past, a curious choice given the band's ferocious advocacy for unions, immigrants and social justice.

Morello is clearly amused and perplexed at how deeply, in his opinion, Ryan has missed the point of his band. "He can like whatever bands he wants, but his guiding vision of shifting revenue more radically to the one percent is antithetical to the message of Rage," Morello wrote.

"I wonder what Ryan's favorite Rage song is? Is it the one where we condemn the genocide of Native Americans? The one lambasting American imperialism? Our cover of "F- the Police"? Or is it the one where we call on the people to seize the means of production? So many excellent choices to jam out to at Young Republican meetings!"
