The biggest thing about Paul Ryan that irks me

He pretends to be this economic and budget genius. And rails against entitlement spending, but he has lived off the taxpayers dime his whole life. He went from living off his deceased dad’s social security benefits which helped pay for his college to working in government. First as a legislative aide and then as a congressman .

Edit: BTW, I too have lived off the taxpayers’ dime my whole life. First as an Army brat and now as active duty military. But I have always been thankful for what I have.

Paul Ryan is a hypocrite to the core. His whole career is Congress was to wage war on the poor.
