Paul Ryan Never Grew up, Never Appreciated What Others Gave Him

Madison, Wisconsin—There was a report months ago unknown persons shot out the windows of a SUV while a family slept at night on the southwest side.

Asked around about it, the verdict was: Kids.

Kids didn't understand the results of actions, what they did to the family, neighbors, community, how something like this violence could traumatize a family, inflicting a home, the sanctuary, the scared foundation of America.

Thought about this wanton act on reading reports House Speaker Paul Ryan will not seek reelection.

From the time Paul Ryan was a college student paid for in part by Social Security survivor benefits, he took, and took, and then lived on the public dole for decades with his tax-payer-financed salary with benefits most any Wisconsin family would envy.

Why Paul Ryan would mutate into a zealous ideologue to destroy Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is inexplicable.

Like a malignant child, Paul Ryan never understood the work generations of American families accomplished to create Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, so Ryan has no compunction about destroying social insurance.

Paul Ryan just took, born into privilege, growing "up in a big Colonial house on a wooded lot, and his extended clan includ(ing) investment managers, corporate executives and owners of major construction companies," (Los Angeles Times).

Paul Ryan is the Koch brothers representative, and Ryan needed a gerrymandered congressional seat to stave off Wisconsin voters.

Ryan's biggest accomplishment: Bequeathing future generations with a $ trillion deficit, purposely imperiling social insurance from which he took.

Lawrence O'Donnell gamed out Paul Ryan's scenarios in December 2017, and guessed a future presidential run is likely.

As Paul Ryan lives on his tax-payer-financed pension, a presidential run is not necessary.

A simple thank you to the Americans whom Paul Ryan betrays will do.

Paul Ryan, Republicans Are Against HealthCare, It's That Easy

Never has a domestic political issue beckoned so brightly for decent Americans as the Republican Party's attack on healthcare.

Here is an issue on which the good guys can finally win.

Healthcare as an political issue should make Republicans anathema to the electorate to a degree that California Republicans became the Hate Party after promoting the infamous, racist Proposition 187 in 1994, (CNN).

Paul Ryan and the Republicans face similar political waters should Democrats and progressives competently push a pro-healthcare message and legislative agenda.

Republicans love the idea of healthcare for themselves. As for Americans, well, healthcare is an earned privilege and not a right, Republicans believe unanimously.

The religious right follows along with some version of Jesus is against Medicare for all and the health insurance industry is going to heaven.

One hopes every opportunity to extol the virtues of healthcare is seized upon by the Dem Party pols and progressives, particularly Wisconsinites disgusted by Scott Walker, Paul Ryan and what in past decades would see Republicans devastated by their perverse anti-healthcare commitment.

Bernie Sanders has been touting MediCare for All of course, sounding a sentiment widely shared among the population.

Will the corporatist, neo-libs get on board?

Party of No Says No to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid

The GOP project of purposefully running up the national debt, then decrying the debt as forcing the phase-out of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is proceeding apace.

Feingold: Lame Duck Congress May Target Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid

Update: Tommy Thompson says he Can’t Detail New Medicare Plan Until He Uses ‘The Computers’ in Congress.
"Congress may try to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid sometime after the election and before the new members are sworn in. At least that's what former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold thinks. A lot of other people do, too."
