That Ryan pushes the cuts he does, considering his family's wealth came from federal construction contracts seems like a villain out of a political novel.

And his wife made millions as a former corporate lobbyist.
Plus, Paul Ryan has never held a job. You know, government doesn't create jobs and he has been a politician on the public dole all his adult life.
I don't know...every time the pros, in unison, like or dislike somebody, the contrarian in me has me thinking the opposite.
Paul Ryan is sharp, has a nice personality, and says mostly stuff people want to hear like deficit hysteria. This is a strong trend in US electoral politics and whatever happens in this election, Paul Ryan is going to be a major player in the GOP. This is going to catapult him to national recognition and prominence. The US will be fortunate if it can avoid the cresting the neoliberal wave in an administration dominated by this philosophy, whether it is Paul Ryan spearheading it or not.
As I have been saying, prepare an escape hatch. The future may not be pretty here with the broadening and deepening of institutional fascism. this trend to looks to have plenty of legs and the coming demographic shift is going to see white men doing all they can to hang on to power in a multicultural and multi-ethnic US. It's going to be harsh, and this is just the beginning, it seems. I don't see it coming to ahead before 2020-2025. By then the realization of climate change and its implications will also be widespread.
