1. "deeply out of balance and unsustainable."

as was your speakership, a**hole.

[Cary]

4. You beat me to it!

Great minds ....

[pecosbob]

6. I have a thing about people that piss on me and tell me it's raining...

[brush]

28. Fuck him. He's been on the government dole his whole life...

including SS checks as a teen and from then on government checks and he wants to cut others who worked for benefits out.

Typical randian selfishness.

[olegramps]

48. He is referring to the criminal enterprise know as the Republican Party.

Everyone of the last presidents dating from Nixon have been criminal administrations.

[Cary]

2. Funny, I call Ryan deeply out of balance and unsustainable.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Epic fail. Ryan left Congress while there are

still a lot of old people who don't have to eat cat food for lack of money or die for lack of medical care. What a loser.

[SWBTATTReg]

16. Really. And to boot, he passed a so called tax cut and jobs bill that gave all of the benefits ...

to the (83%) to the 1%ers. So much for failure.

I still remember w/ fondness when Joe Biden wiped the floor w/ his ass when they debated. Ryan showed his true colors when he was left pretty well speechless.

[bullwinkle428]

40. Expect an EPIC blog post from Charlie Pierce in response to Ryan's farewell!

[Wellstone ruled]

5. So,Paulie is headed to

one of Koch's anti People Think Tanks back in Wisconsin.

Still say he will be running with Romney in 2020.

Watch where Scott Walker shows up in January.

[LakeSuperiorView]

15. Walker is too stupid looking to show up other than in print.

He always looks as if someone just planted a 2x4 across his face - his dead eyes are too close together.

[TexasBushwhacker]

38. Like his picture would be in the dictionary

If you looked up "doofus".

[Wellstone ruled]

43. You and I know that part,

but,Scottie Boy loves himself way too much. He and Ryan will Cube mates at some Koch so called think Tank..

[safeinOhio]

7. Please do your part Paul.

Turn down your government pension and medial insurance.

[dubyadiprecession]

29. Those are the only entitlements, he approves of.

[niyad]

8. little eddie munster is a fucking disgrace. STFU, you entitled little prick,and go home

to the anonymity you deserve (well, actually, you deserve to spend eternity in hell, but that is just me).

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. Rot in hell, Ryan.

[gratuitous]

10. Boo hoo, Paul

You got every advantage the system had to offer, and you were unsuccessful in pulling the ladder up after you. What happened? You had every opportunity the last two years to govern as you pleased. What "political reality" got in the way of your lifelong credo of "More for me and fuck you"?

Maybe you just weren't a very good politician and a failure who would be a deep disappointment to the Empress Ayn.

[dalton99a]

11. I hope he dies a long, slow and painful natural death.

[onethatcares]

23. with fire ants

chewing on his eyelids.

I truly wish him the best long slow painful natural death possible too.

[smirkymonkey]

64. I like the way you think.

No end can be too painful or brutal enough for him. He is an evil, selfish little man who deserves a long, hellish, uninsured death. Good riddance you vile, disgusting pig.

[dembotoz]

58. Not covered by insurance

[ffr]

12. Paul Ryan, you complicit traitor! FU

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. why did hypocrite Ryan draw Social Security benefits until he was 18?

Go eat shit, Paul Granny-killer Ryan.

[NastyRiffraff]

14. Says one of the most ineffective Speakers of all time

Just STFU and go away, Rand. You did nothing useful as Speaker and nobody cares what you have to say.

[UpInArms]

17. Don't let the door hit you

On your way out, you piece of shit

Paul Ryan bemoans "broken politics" in farewell address

House Speaker Paul Ryan bemoaned America's "broken politics" in a farewell speech Wednesday and called Washington's failure to overhaul costly federal benefit programs "our greatest unfinished business."

The only unfinished business I can think of is running the entire Republican Party out of Washington DC and every state office.

[Gregory Peccary]

18. All I read was "Farewell Speech"

Hell ya, goodbye dickball.

[geardaddy]

19. Fuck you, Eddie Munster.

[Bengus81]

20. Ryan:GUTTING Social Security and Medicare are Republicans GREATEST unfinished business....

Nuff said about this POS and frankly the ENTIRE Republican party who goes along with SHIT like this. Gives his Corporate asshat buddies a 14% tax cut and then five minutes later want's a balanced budget vote passed.

[KPN]

21. Ryan is "deeply out of balance" and

hopefully” unsustainable. What a miserable excuse for a human being. Of course his Congressional retirement package is earned and sustainable. The little p****!

[BlueJac]

22. Can we gut his intitlement...

and the rest of them so we can get what we paid for?

[Pepsidog]

26. Yea he is a career teat sucker

[Pepsidog]

24. Go F yourself Paul! You are hypocritical, enabling POS.

[people]

25. Paul Ryan

What a PIG!

[Cousin Dupree]

27. Whatever you call someone who tosses aside their ethics and morals in return for money and

power, that what he is.

[The Genealogist]

30. Slither back under your rock, ya snake

I hope some day that he becomes poor and his only option is government programs. We will see what he thinks of them when they are all that is between him and a bed under an overpass.

[Heartstrings]

32. He married into money so....

[The Genealogist]

33. I still hope he ends up broke

Sure, that is a likely pipe dream, but it would be just for him to have to live like the poor people he hates.

[Heartstrings]

35. I agree, he deserves to live like a sewer rat...

No offense to sewer rats....

[Heartstrings]

31. Please go somewhere other than Wisconsin...

Most of us are sick to death of your smirk, and arrogance.
PS...take Walker with you!

[jalan48]

34. Oh the irony. An entitled fuck complaining about entitlement programs.

[Xipe Totec]

37. LOL! My wife calls him "El ojete con ojitos"

(The asshole with the pretty eyes.)

[spanone]

36. He wishes he could be a more horrible person than he already is.

[DemoTex]

39. Mr. Ryan-Bumble and the entire GOP: "WHAT?!"

[Ferrets are Cool]

41. FUPR

[NewJeffCT]

42. Translation

"I tried really hard to kill off the old and the poor. Alas, I couldn't get them all."

[pdsimdars]

44. Yea, but he sure cut that deficit like he wanted to, . . oh . . wait . . . . FAIL!

And his beloved hero Ayn Rand took her entitlements when she was eligible. . . so, she really fits perfectly with right wing hypocrisy.
And wait, is Ryan going to refuse his medicare and pension? Stand on those principles he espouses? Yea, right!

[GulfCoast66]

45. I give him credit for one thing...

He was always open and honest about wanting to destroy the safety net for those less fortunate than himself. Since ‘reform’ is republican speak for destroy.

Most other republicans lie about it. But is is the desire of all of them.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

46. Of course he was never interested in any long-term solutions

Their only "solution" is- and has always been- to cripple and legislate those programs (and other government programs) out of existence, not actually make them balanced and sustainable. We have plenty of money and/or ways to legitimately improve programs but the people in charge lack the necessary priorities and desire to use the necessary resources to do it.

[zentrum]

47. Must be auditioning for

....a job in an Insurance PAC.

[iluvtennis]

49. Fkn cretin.

[Initech]

50. What a dick!

[Demovictory9]

51. Entitled asshole

[Farmer-Rick]

52. A F*cking Pr*ck to the bitter end

What a f*cking as*hole. Ryan says, "My biggest disappointment was NOT taking away everything the elderly have earned and were/are severely taxed for. Because allowing a someone to have what they earned is just so anti-democratic."

Right now the number of people filing for bankruptcy at the fine old age of over 59 has skyrocketed by over 200%. Thanks in large part to the crappy things Raygun and Greenspan did to our Social Security and of course all the crappy little things the RepubliCONS have done throughout the years. Greenspan and the dolt President Raygun moved the retirement age up so that for those at the end of the baby boom (after having paid for their parents retirement as early as 62) must wait until 66.6 years of age to get it. Then it gets taxed as income (say, when is the rich man going to pay taxes for those stocks he owns?) And they have to pay a co-payment and 20% of all costs for Medicare on an out of control medical system.

Welcome to the end of your life thanks to idiots and liars like Ryan you'll be lucky to have a roof over your head and be able to eat. Never mind trying to get medical attention the monster costs that the RepubliCONS have burden the elderly with (20% of $200,000 is still going to bankrupt you) means you get to chose between your medicine or food.

Thank God Ryan and the Koch brothers didn't get to take it all away....after we already paid for it.

[whathehell]

53. Oh, you mean "reform" them..

[geretogo]

54. I would like to see people like Ryan brought before a court in the Hague for crimes against humanity

[riversedge]

55. BE GONE!

[red dog 1]

56. There goes "Cryin' Ryan"

Adios, Senor Diablo!

[Chickensoup]

57. Every time one try to be civil they pull you

back in. So you fucking idiot
You give the riches 1percent a trillion dollars tax break, And you wasn't to cut entitlement for the poor, the elderly and the middle class. You think you are doing
Well and you are hurting America
and the majority of Americans.
Well you will not succeed.
You are destined to the trash Dumpster
of history, have no doubt AH.

[dlk]

59. Good Riddance to a Sniveling Weasel

He was the poster boy for the GOP agenda, “I’ve got mine, to hell with you”! We can’t be rid of him fast enough.

[malaise]

60. Of course he got Social Security after his father died

Fuck that scumbag

[lame54]

61. How many generations...

Have they been unsustainable so far?

[enid602]

62. "deeply out of balance and unsustainable."

Sure,especially when tRump's new tax law lowers government revenues drastically.

[allgood33]

63. Someone please make sure he doesn't collect his unneeded social Security when he is eligible,

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

65. He's been dreaming about it since he was drinking from the keg in college

Or so he says.
