Ryan, a reliable Republican vote for policies key in causing enormous federal budget deficit.

http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/08/06/120806fa_fact_lizza?currentPage=all

He describes his experience working at McDonalds in high school....“The manager didn’t think I had the social skills to work the counter,” Paul Ryan


No kidding. Ryan has no care or concern for anything not Romney Rich... So the McDonalds manager pegged him early on...


After his father's death he found meaning in Ayn Rand.... His senior year he was voted biggest brown nosier. After college he went home to Wisconsin to get a short term job in the private sector. Naturally it was in his family's business doing marketing before he continued in his public paying gigs... A gig he has done most of his adult life...


Some of these details are different from ones I have read in times past.... Like the death of his father... I read an article over a year ago that said his father had a heart attach in his office at work.... But who knows... The interesting things about Ryan's lack of private work experience and his reliance on Govt. funded work while denying others govt. savings account ,social security, paid for by themselves ...Ryan believes Social Security contributes to the deficit... Bernie Sanders has told Ryan that social security does not add to the deficit. But it's an inconvenient truth.. So Ryan goes on complaining about that and people using govt. insurance-medicare/medicade, but it's alright for him to use govt. subsidized health care..

The article seems to be a very polished apple pie kind of article that could easily be picked apart.... But I hope Joe Biden reveals to the American people the difference between himself and Ryan...
