When Representative Paul Ryan was 16 years old , tragedy struck his family. His 55 year old father had passed away from a heart attack. Young Paul Ryan found his father’s lifeless body and was burdened by the fact that he had to tell his mother and siblings of this horrible situation.

After his father’s passing, young Paul Ryan started collecting social security benefits until the age of 18 years old. He took this benefit and saved it for his college education.

A repuke acquaintance of mine was on unemployment before the '06 midterms. The puke congress denied extending benefits several times and this acquaintance was maxing out his credit cards just trying to survive until he found work. When the Dem congress convened and extended benefits this fucking repuke acquaintance went off like a roman candle that they were contributing to the deficit, etc. Of course his righteous indignation and high integrity never once compelled him to return a penny of his extended benefits. :eyes:

Some repukes are so smarmy you wish you had never made their acquaintance. :puke:

As you can see he has now pulled himself up by his own bootstraps.
