At the age of 16, Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) suffered the death of his 55-year-old father. Because of his father’s early death, the government made survivor payments for a few years to Paul Ryan’s family — including for Paul Ryan himself, for the two years until he turned 18.
The death of Paul Ryan’s father probably cut government spending on Ryan’s family, since his father never got to collect a dime in retirement benefits despite paying into social security for many years, and since retirees typically collect at least a decade’s worth of benefits. Thus, the Ryan family got no special breaks.
But the liberal magazine The American Prospect, and liberal blogs like Crooks and Liars, Firedoglake, and Daily Kos, are using Ryan’s father’s early death against him, falsely accusing him of hypocrisy. For example, a Daily Kos diary attacks Ryan as an “evil hypocrite” in a post entitled, “Entitlement-hating Paul Ryan collected Social Security benefits until he was 18.”
Does the money go to the child or to the surviving parent?
In any case, the left sure is scraping the bottom of the barrel, innit.

I like it. Remember the Rush maxim: they will tell us who they fear.
And on the other side who makes them feel comfortable: the Donald.

Why is anybody surprised by this. They only know how to act badly and I blame the parents they suck/sucked too.
Remember what they did to Tony Snow.But then again there no chance of any of them ever being in my home so Eff them.
