He's happy to vote to spend money on wars for profit, vote for tax cuts for the wealthy, and vote for State-sanctioned oppression of women and gay people. He even voted for the Medicare Part D program, when some of his fellow right-wing Republicans voted against it!
But the "fiscal conservative, maintaining Social Security and Medicare" thing is a red herring. What he really wants to maintain and increase is inequality-economic and social. Those ideological desires go hand in hand for American conservatives.
Ryan's plan is less about "fiscal conservatism" than it is about more corporate profits. And from Ryan's horrific Randian worldview, this is perfectly fine: the wealthiest individuals, the strong, the powerful, have every right to take what is theirs from the "weak parasites" of society-aka the rest of us.
