Paul Ryan is appearing near my hometown tomorrow. What question should I ask

if he takes any questions, which I doubt he will?

Not sure I can go, but it should be easier to get into than an Obama appearance.
Nothing snarky - legitimate questions.

I will have to check back later tonight.
Thanks.

Tell him you think he flunked high school math.

Or ask him what 2+2 equals in base3.

Or you could just ask him why he is such a smary douche.

Ask him something that he might trip up on. Such as the home mortgage deduction being saved. Or how does he think we should stand up to China.
