I would so love to punch Ryan right in that smirking face.

No baby boy. FREEDOM is not turning your paycheck over to the very rich to play with because you can’t use OUR taxes to pay for things that benefit US. You know Paul. Like other countries. Like the country we USED to be when you took everything you could get your hands on.

“I recognize and appreciate your concerns” is corporate-speak for “Not my problem.”

You’d think the Speaker of the House would at least pretend to give a shit about the welfare of the American people.

“I recognize and applaud the prospect of millions losing coverage.”

FIFY, Mr. Speaker.

Ryan should be put in jail for fraud, right next to TRump.

I can’t answer that question. It’s up to people," he said. “You get it if you want it. That’s freedom.”


This is a proto attack ad.

i guess huffpo is a competitor of tpm, but this headline (also the article) is pretty much as money as they get.

You know who doesn’t “want or even need” health insurance? Dead people.

“just the first of a three-pronged approach.”


“It’s important to note that this report does not take into consideration additional steps Congress and the Trump administration are taking that will further lower costs and increase choices,”

What additional steps and why didn’t the CBO take them into consideration? We’re taking the first prong in the butt and the other two prongs haven’t been worked out yet.

Next to ‘smarmy’ in the dictionary is Ryan’s face. That and a drawing he made at the age of 8 for his school’s show and tell of how best to fry ants with a magnifying glass.

Actually, by “appreciate” he means that the wailing and gnashing of teeth among the sick and desperate is music to his ears.

Ryan was right in line to get that free money from Social Security while he was going to Collage after the death of his father. He also has no problem pulling the ladder up behind him preventing others from receiving any help. It is ironic that he did not even need the help because his family had the money to pay for his tuition but what the heck he grabbed it anyway.

The CBO dosen’t address how many will be without coverage because of preexisting conditions preventing them from being covered. How many will go bankrupt as a result of the return of lifetime maximums? How many 26 and under will not be able to get insurance because they can not stay on their parents plans? How many unwanted pregnancies and abortions will result from elimination of birth control covered. How many preventable medical conditions will result in death as a result of the elimination of preventative services being covered from the first dollar?

Paul Ryan and the Republican Party have a lot to be held accountable for but most of all it is their attitude that they made it on their own and everyone else should as well. None of us made it on our own.

“nobody will have ‘the rug pulled out from under them’”

Of course not. We’re doing it so slowly it will go just about unnoticed till after the midterms.

Blue pays for Red. Actually the only honest thing he did say in his pitch.
