Bill Maher stuns liberal audience with Paul Ryan quotes
“Real Time” host Bill Maher stunned his liberal guests Friday night with a racial quote uttered by Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan.

Mr. Maher started off the segment with Mr. Ryan’s recent comments about inner city poverty and the cultural dynamics that perpetuate such cycles. The HBO host then asked if Mr. Ryan was simply making an honest observation or something motivated by racial ill will.

Then the “Real Time” host said “Let me read something else. Here’s something else Paul Ryan said. He said: ‘When it comes to getting an education, too many of our young people just can’t be bothered. They’re sitting on couches for hours playing video games, watching TV instead of dreaming of being a teacher or a lawyer or a business leader — they’re fantasizing about being a baller or a rapper.

difference being that the first lady is willing to criticize and then help, while Ryan who grew up rich can only criticize.

So your one of those in the audience that got duped and said "well maybe he didn't say it but it sounds like something he would say because he's a rich white guy" .........

The rich guys from your party make these types of comments all the time. maybe that is why it was so easy to dupe the audience?

Yes but the ultimate fantasy is to become a baller who is also a rapper that has fathered numerous children to be raised by others that are guaranteed to carry on the legacy.

Speaking of Ryan, he's coming out with his new budget:

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan is rolling out an updated budget plan that would slash $5.1 trillion in federal spending over the coming decade. The Republican proposal also would balance the government's books by cutting food stamps, health care for the poor and working class, and programs like Pell Grants for low-income college students and pensions for federal workers.

Ryan's plan steers away from cuts to benefits for senior citizens, at least in the short term, but reprises a voucher-like Medicare program for future retirees that provides the basis for GOP claims that the measure would drive down government debt over the long term. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...n_5069608.html

Wouldn't it just be more cost efficient to euthanize the poor?

From Robert Reich on Facebook:

This is no April Fool’s joke: Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin today lays out the House Republican’s election-year budget that purports to come into balance by 2024, largely through steep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps and repeal of President Obama’s health care law. Other domestic programs would also be shredded – such as research in clean energy. All told, Ryan’s 2024 domestic spending would be 28 percent below the average of the George W. Bush administration. At the same time, it increases military spending through 2024 by $483 billion over the spending caps established in the 2011 Budget Control Act. Individual taxes would have just two rates, 25 percent and 10 percent.
The joke is this really isn’t meant to be a budget. Although it will be formally adopted by Ryan’s budget committee on Wednesday, it’s real purpose is to be a 2014 Republican campaign manifesto while also advancing Ryan’s own ambitions toward a 2016 presidential run.
But where’s the Democrat’s campaign manifesto? Senate Democrats should counter with a budget that (1) raises taxes on the rich and closes notorious loopholes (such as “carried interest” for hedge-fund managers); (2) exempts the first $15,000 of income from Social Security taxes and makes up the difference by eliminating the cap on income subject to it; (3) ends corporate welfare to oil and gas, big pharma, big agriculture, military contractors, and Wall Street; and (4) uses the savings to invest in education and infrastructure, and a new WPA for the long-term unemployed. You agree?

Just checking back to see if any of you discussed the data you don't have in relation to Ryan's comments. As usual the people here don't have the interest in finding it to determine the actual merit of what Paul Ryan said.

Help who? Just who has she been helping other than herself with her expensive shopping trips and countless vacations at tax payer expense? Liberals love to brand themselves as "helping" but never get around to actually DOING any of it.
