How Corporate Media Morphed Paul Ryan From Radical to Reasonable

by Jordan Chariton | 12:02 pm, March 13th, 2017

As policy wonks and chomping-at-the-bit Democrats anxiously await the CBO’s score on the GOP healthcare ‘plan,’ there’s one person in Washington less than excited. The pride and bastion of social Darwinism: Paul Ryan.

Make no mistake about it, this new healthcare monstrosity that will kick millions of downtrodden, vulnerable Americans off healthcare — while providing rich folks $600 million in tax breaks and welfare — is not Trumpcare.

It’s Ryancare, or more appropriately, AYNCARE.

That’s for Ayn Rand, the extremist champion of the greedy wolves of America (who Ryan has acknowledged as his idol). This makes sense since the Speaker of the House and Wisconsin Congressman has made a career of assaulting the poor and massaging the rich.

Whether it’s voucherizing Medicare in an attempt to eventually eliminate it, taking a machete to food stamps and other welfare programs, cutting millions in student financial aid and job training, or providing welfare for the rich in the form of millions of dollars in tax cuts, Ryan is a man who salivates at stomping on the poor and vulnerable while getting some type of sadistic satisfaction out of kissing the rich.
