Well look what Ryan was doing just before...

[SHRED]

JUST HOURS BEFORE House Speaker Paul Ryan held a press conference to sell his health care overhaul legislation — using a PowerPoint presentation mocked for misrepresenting basic facts — he was doing something he’s much better at: fundraising.

The two things were related. The Thursday morning breakfast fundraiser he attended was hosted by a lobbying firm working to unwind the Affordable Care Act on behalf of health insurance company Blue Cross Blue Shield, one of the big winners of Ryan’s proposed legislation.

2. And there we go...

Always follow the money!!!

5. The truth is congress people spend a large amount of time raising money

because of the nature of our campaign finance laws. Ryan is hardly unique in that.

Campaign finance needs to be addressed as a policy question, as Clinton sought to do in her 2016 platform. That's been set back by the Trump election but we must never forget the LAWS need to be changed. It can't be treated just as an issue of personal virtue.
