No doubt that's how he's reconciled his choice of career with his admiration for Ayn Rand. But it also explains why the Tea Party no longer loves him ... he's not sufficiently anti-Washington.

But Ryan's solution is to claim that for "their" own good (they being blah people because everyone knows white people work) they shouldn't be allowed to stay on welfare until there are jobs. <br /><br />It should be cut at some arbitrary point (if it exists at all), which will encourage people to find some sort of employment, somewhere. Will it pay the bills? Doesn't matter. They just need to find a job.<br /><br />Remember, Lyin' Ryan's ultimate goal is to lower or eliminate regulations that control businesses. <br /><br />Moaning about unemployment and the unemployed leads to the assertion that we need more jobs, leads to the claim that there are no jobs because there are too many rules, leads to let's get rid of the rules, leads to more profit for the corporations. <br /><br />And gosh, if you have millions of people who'll do anything to possibly earn a crust of bread and there are no rules that protect them from criminal behavior, so much the better.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390791792685104671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-7783442845926076692014-03-14T09:59:48.683-04:002014-03-14T09:59:48.683-04:00About 1965, I think it was, that society as a whol...About 1965, I think it was, that society as a whole started forgetting the value of hard work.
