Negotiations for a bloated trillion-dollar spending bill are nearly complete, and the new spending hike is set to pass Congress and make it’s way to President Barack Obama’s desk with the blessing of House Speaker Paul Ryan.
And the compromise-riddled bill has Tea Party Republicans furious at Ryan, who some say conceded again and again to exorbitant Democrat demands.
Some of the most controversial portions of the spending bill provide major relief from tough caps on spending, which Democrats and the Obama White House have pushed for all year.
And since their votes are required to pass the bill, Democrats like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California played a strong hand in the negotiations, getting Ryan to cave on several other points.
Democrats won five-year extensions of credits for wind and solar energy producers and a renewal of a land and water conservation fund. They also blocked GOP proposals to thwart Obama administration clean air and water regulations.
Also in the bill, Democrats got permanent extensions of tax credits for college costs, children and lower-income families.
At the same time, Tea Party demands to strip federal money from Planned Parenthood, stick to tight budget caps and make it more difficult for Syrian refugees to enter the U.S. after last month’s Paris attacks have all been ignored because of Democratic opposition and White House veto threats.
Democrats said they blocked over 150 GOP-sought provisions.
The bill is seen as reversing many of the recent gains in lowering the deficit. And many of the spending increases contained within the $1.1 trillion spending bill are financed by budget gimmicks that produce questionable savings, like double-counting savings from Social Security changes and assuming inflated revenues from sales of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Ryan himself has said that the measure will amount to a “crap sandwich” and the final bill doesn’t look much different than it would have under former House Speaker John Boehner.
Critics have said that the final product is shaping up as a massive measure that’s sure to be scorned by the GOP’s Tea Party base and roster of presidential candidates.

Main street says
Ryan is an example of the lack of quality of today’s politicians. The working class aren’t on their list of folks to care about. It’s common today for congressmen to not reply to constituents with legitimate concerns. Even though they are on committees that deal with national issues, they don’t answer letters from those who do not live in their districts. The days of Tip O’Neill and Jim Wright look like the good old days compared to the uncaring leaders we have these days.
William Matthes says
Well, we knew Ryan was a Rino before being made Speaker. Just like Boehner, he’s sold us out!
adulf Fillips says
If you remember Obama passed a 870 dollar stimulus bill first order of business
the whole d— bunch got bribe so now they are in Socialist pocket
Masanja Balele says
At least Paul Ryan is now thinking properly like a human being – Not like GOP candidates who emulating Trump. Yesterday Trump trumped them all at the debate. Trump was composed, but the others were whiners or angry why Trump polls were soaring. Cruz lost yesterday when we learned he would cut military spending when we are at war with ISIS. I told people Cruz does not care about this Country. He is a Canadian –Cuban communist. If this country goes down he will run to Cuba to work for his uncle Castro. .
josebear5 says
What kind of idiot are you are you brain dead. this is about the American people and the children being tax to death. Do you wnt to see this country fail?
Terry says
I think you have Cruz confused with Rubio
Joseph Halbrooks says
Ted Cruz is not looking to cut the military. Unlike the children on stage with him he knows the facts. All of the wanna be’s were talking about retireing the B-52’s
Yet the Air Force wants to keep them online until 2050.
Why through away trillions in replaceing the best heavy bomber in the world, when the experts say it is good for 100 years of active duty.
It is cutting unnecessary waste that will allow the U.S.
To fill the weak spots in the military.
HeyJudeOregon says
APPARENTLY YOU ARE A TRUMP SUPPORTER TRYING TO TRASH “TED CRUZ.'” TED CRUZ LOVES THIS COUNTRY MORE THEN ANYONE AND HAS BEEN FIGHTING FOR US “CITIZENS’ IN THIS COUNTRY IN THE SENATE. TOO BAD YOU WERE WATCHING THE DEBATE LAST NIGHT WHERE HE KICKED ASS.
Mike Bretzing says
You know I am a Trump supporter and I also like Cruz, so stop trashing Trump whenever you need someone to blame. What happen to Hilary no one is asking about her and the FBI investigation on her email servers, what happen to Bengazi and the American troops who were set to go in and rescue our people and were told to stand down ? Do your homework, I would bet Cruz would be asked by Trump to take the VP job. Both are good men.
Cheryl Lattin says
That’s the most untrue thing I’ve ever read!
josebear5 says
He not only sold the republican but the Democrat voters and their children. We as American should stand up to the Republican and Democrats the Voters should be in it together.
Deanna says
we need to oust him out like the other traitor His lies are to something to be ashamed of
Jack Simpson says
think of the damage he could have done if he was vice president.
HCUA says
He is a white RINO, not as rare as you think.
Angryman says
EXACTLY CORRECT.
Ryan is actually a DEMOCRAP in disguise. With little to NO Conservative values he was ” Installed ” as Republican House Speaker by those that DO NOT want the Republican Party to be pried from their greasy hands. Rubio , McCain , Flake and too many others to list should be PUSHED banished from the Republican Party with plenty of PRESS as to the reasons why they were sent packing.
Did ANYONE really expect that Ryan would vote with Republicans now ?
GET RID OF HIM ASAP. and give the Republican Party a chance to help improve the American way of life that we fought for.
Bob says
Angryman, you have nailed Paul Ryan. He is continuing the same policies that got his mentor (John Boehner) fired. That is why he made the deal with the RINOs (so called conservative caucus) to not be able to be fired. He is not for the American voter, but only out for what he can get out of the tax payers. He also hates seniors and likes the policy of taking money from Medicare to help out ACA (ObamaCare, SCOTUS Care or whatever you want to call that Democrat healthcare plan they forced on us in 2009). Ryan should resign like Boehner did, then perhaps we will get a Tea Party type to run the funding for our country.
Joseph Stonelake says
I agree, No more Professional Politicos needed ! We need and want true Americans without and agenda to serve our country ! Not Professional politicians who sell our great nation out for their own personal gain !
Dan says
AMEN!
Dolores Wieland says
We need no career politicians…Trump is a businessman, as is Ben Carson….Vote Trump/Carson ticket.Our politicians and elected officials are in each other’s/taxpayers’ pockets. They do NOT care about the America people
Greta says
I am with you!!!
Irvan says
Trump/Carson ticket sounds GREAT!! I’m one small part of this country who wants to RID the government of PROFESSIONAL politicians so we can get back on track of prosperity.
Deanna says
amen
Big Hal says
I thought we had a Republican Congress. Didn’t the House vote to approve the budget? Why put all the blame on Ryan who doesn’t want to see the Government shut down and the blame put on Congress.
Larry says
So instead you sell out trillions of dollars of our money for the crooks. Where do you think this money is coming from. It’s not mana from heaven!
Roxane says
I concur! If they are not born here or are part of the establishment, we don’t need them! Trump, 2016! 🙂
B. Roger Smith says
I’m sick and tired of hearing about “SHUTTING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT”. Shut the bastards down, who cares besides the welfare recipients. When the government shuts down it is only a small percentage anyway. It’s all hype and fear and Obama knows it but those dreaded words make people walk on eggs and scared to death they won’t get checks. Maybe it’s time to shut the whole damn government down and let people resolve their own needs.
Marge says
It also stops wages to the Military,US Marshalls, All the TSA and Homeland Security etc. If you work for any of the “essential services “under Gov’t employment it means you must to continue to work without pay.! Now how would you like to have to work and not get paid?
kay says
Ahh…but they get paid after and with a bonus too. That’s what happened on the last shut down. Most of the problem with the last shut down was our PRESIDENT.
sheepdog says
You’re an ill-informed, gullible person that buys into the scare tactics of “shut down”.
Try to find one person that has suffered during past shut downs. It’s another political game
used to further confuse and scare ignorant, government dependent voters.
Gary says
No shit. Think of all the money we could save. While they are at it they should put a freeze on government payroll.
HeyJudeOregon says
THE PRESIDENT is the one who really ‘shuts down the government’ of which has been done many times. The President will shut it down if HE, OBAMA doesn’t get what HE WANTS. Plain and simple. It is very unfortunate that we still have the ‘game playing politicians’ still in office in both parties. I left the Democratic Party after 40 years because they have turned into Idiots. I now will support the GOP/Tea Party and support TED CRUZ who has been fighting all of these mormons in the Senate for US CITIZENS. tedcruz.org check him out.
faye says
That’s who congress wanted in there. Several people threw their hat into the ring, but congress ignored them and made Ryan Speaker. Crooked, the whole lot of them. I can’t believe people keep voting the same people over and over in office.
Fierce Look says
He is yet another sell-out! I’ve correctly stated that we have a two-headed, one totalitarian oligarchy; WHEN THE Muslim-Marxist jihadist and Nancy P-Lugosi approved of him and gave their support this should have solidified my assertions and he should not have been implanted as the Muslim-Marxist jihadist was back in 2008! The reality, like it or not, is that the citizenry is on our own; thus, REVOLUTION will be the SOLUTION, Armr================? or become a serf and live a life of misery and squalor because that is the alternative!
Ramon Perez says
has the clean shaven Ryan lost his razor or is the Muslim coming out of his face.
Tom says
did any body read the bill? it also contains a Cost of living raise for congress. they screw our service men and women who protect us and also don’t have money for a cola for social security . just another deal to take care of the politicians who are probably high fiving each other. Ryan is good with numbers but sounds like democrats wrote most of this bill. we know congress has to compromise to get anything done so lets watch what comes out next!
gary vogt says
You have hit the nail on the head exactly. I thought Ryan might be slightly better than Boehner but I am wrong. He just hasn’t been there as long. and they wonder why voters like Trump all the while governing against the will of the people.
Rosech says
Agree with you that even Tammany Hall could not compete. By the way, I am a Tea Party member and no way did we support Ryan and rightly so as he is a clone of Boehner giving it all away and calling it “give and take”. Rot!
william says
Jef miller, and d webster senators from florida allso on the va board in DC and being DAV I ask them for help webster sent a female to an appointment with me and she wanted to know what she was doing with me and miller did not answer at all.
Unklebillybob says
It would appear that the Republican House, Leadership, has forgotten who they work for. Since Mr Ryan has chosen to IGNORE US, he needs to be replaced. In Fact, 100% of those House Reps who voted with mr ryan, need to be replaced. We, as voting US Citizens need to vote them out of Office, ASAP!
Brad & Connie says
I am very disappointed in Paul Ryan. He pasted a budget that will increase our national debt. Also while I am an Independent and have not made up my mind as to whom I am going to support, I am a strong supporter in protecting America. Paul Ryan is not a strong believer in securing our borders. He should not have come out against Donald Trump last week. I believe we should stop everyone from coming into our country until they can be properly vetted. Paul Ryan is too politically correct and not a true conservative. I will suggest to my friends in Wisconsin not support him in the next election.
M141934 says
Tea partiers would have preferred to shut down the government. Ryan and the Congressional Members that have some common sense realize the Obama would never have signed the kind of budget the right wing obstructionists wanted.
Republicans need to stop the infighting and concentrate on winning back the White House so we can implement the conservative agenda.
jay says
Ryan=RINO
Vito Geneovese says
Ryan is a scumbag, I cannot believe how no one could see right through him.
He is a democrat calling him a Rino would be a compliment. He will prove to be as bad if not worse than Boehner.
If Trump or Cruz with Gods help should win the presidential nomination, they should find a way or devise a plan to get rid of him
Tom says
Agree
Tom says
I didn;t say that
LM says
The problem is: senator Ryan sees the country and you guys & gals see yourself.
NAVSOG says
The Tea Party is a joke, and RYAN was a TRAITOR before and was slotted for boneheads seat by the establishment to continue the TREASONOUS acts against America on a roll!
Bud webster says
Navsog, don,t be an asshole dude, is it a joke to love God, Family,Country?. Trey gowdy was the man for the job. Everyone knew Ryan was a protégé of mr sun tan. Shouldn’t be a surprise, what we need to do is see who voted him to the speakership. Then determine if those people are also marxist
mike says
I knew ryan was a total loser as soon as I heard he was going to be the speaker of the house. He was perfect one to replace the cry baby He will side with the dems every chance he get’s, So we need to get him out
Gerry says
It is a little too late to fume over anything this clown does. You all knew before hand he is just another butt kissing boehner type rino and you let him have that position anyhow. So don’t give us that phony ” we’re mad as hell ” baloney. You knew what he was like and he will do anything to line his own pockets and he is just another rino/demoRAT.
Craig says
Still if the Republicans on a whole do not like it they can vote against it. This would make Ryan look weak with his own party. Then he either needs to regroup and support his party or step down and let another take his place. What good is it to be the lead party and do not push the values of Republicans? And he had the nerve to say Trump is not a true Republican. Yet he does not follow what his fellow Republicans and voters direct him to do.
Bud webster says
Neither does Ted Cruz, with Ben Carson slipping it,s Cruz who,ll get my vote
Sue says
And they have planned this all along
Bud webster says
And have done so since 1908. But it sounds like you didn,t know America has been under control by the Marxist for a very long time
Dolores Wieland says
1908? What happened in 1908?
Emilio Clarke says
I knew from the beginning that PAUL RYAN WOULD BE ANOTHER OBAMA BITCH JUST LIKE BOEHNER AND MCCONNELL, we got to vote him out of office
Margaret says
After being a very patriotic and voting American my whole life, I am seriously considering NOT voting any more…what is the point
as it doesn’t matter – Republicans don’t stand up and take action against anything the Democrats present, and of course, the Democrats liberal policies cannot be supported as they are ruining this nation. We the people don’t have any course of action left.
How pathetic for American who still care about what happens to this nation.
Bud webster says
We do have recourse Marge, Thomas Jefferson stated that a revolution every 10 years would help keep the republic strong. You being discouraged is exactly what the progessive Marxists want. Don,t give your rights away. Find the canadate that fights not only the other party, but turncoats in his own party. Their is 2 candidates in the Republican Party I see doing that
KayO says
We knew he had a democrat mentality issue, so why was he chosen? He’s as bad as Boehner was.
Ida Maydell Bolding says
I knew that Paul Ryan was a RINO before he took the office of House Speaker. He is a disgrace to the Republican Party. When America goes under because of the National Debt, you can thank John Boehner, Paul Ryan, and all of the other RINO’s. How in the world is America supposed to, and I am speaking to all those in the Middle Class, going to survive. No wonder we have so many people on welfare. The US cannot continue to sustain the national debt, and become a thriving Country. You, Paul Ryan, have sold the American people’s wishes down the drain. I hope you feel good about yourself.
Germ says
Don’t put all blame on Republicans. There are plenty of Dumbocrats to blame. One, in particular for the past 7 years. Liberals think that their s*** doesn’t stink.
Thomas Nolan says
The patient is running the Asylum, It’s just a matter of time now , What an ASS he ts.
john thomas says
I sick and tired of all these communist bastards giving our country away . I feel they should all be tried for treason and shot by firing squad ! After that tell the next asses the same will happen to them if they don’t do what the people want .
Big Hal says
Gee!!, tells us what you really think!
Bud webster says
Amen, although firing squad is too lenient. Hang em.
DENISE says
Paul Rhino you are a disgrace to the Republician people who thought maybe, just maybe, that you would stand with the American people. you deserve this name PAUL RHINO. YOU ARE SO FAR UP LEFTIES BUTTS YOU FORGET WHAT SIDE YOUR ON. YOUR A DISGRACE AND TRADER.
Big Hal says
Didn’t the House Republicans vote for the Bill (200+)? Ryan probably didn’t have a choice but to forwarded an approved Bill!
Jerry Logan says
Ryan is a Rino a turn coat he made this deal with them. So they made him speaker. Have no use for him,he’s in Obama pocket.
Ellender Arceneaux says
Same old “Bull Crap” all over again.
Ryan you need to step up to the PLATE—Do your job and quite giving in to the DEMO_CRAP.
guy says
we all knew Ryan was and IS a piece-of-RNC RINOshit
Alexdria says
Before he got a job he promised American people do whatever it take to results the problem. Now he become second Boehner.
mark grant says
Speak, Paul ! Good boy ! Now, roll over ! Who’s a good rino? You are ! Yes you are !
Willie says
TRUMP 2016
tom says
Solution for refugees:
A REFUGEE PLAN!
Contact your Federal representative to propose this. Makes good sense! A plan for the refugees. All able bodied males between the ages of 18 to 50 will immediately be inducted into the US/Cdn army and sent to basic training. After basic, they will be loaded into aircraft and flown back to their home country and on arrival, given their weapons and ammo and told to go reclaim their country! And when they have accomplished that! we will send their wives and children and any other countrymen and women back to them at no cost. They will be paid the same as our soldiers while fighting for their country and their dependent’s will receive the same benefits as our soldier’s dependents. If they are not willing to do this, then they and their families can find another country to take them. We should not have to send our military to fight for their country if they are not willing to fight for their own!
Maxine Beers says
Ryan is a weesle he is getting money under the table to do what ovmit wants We have to get rid of everyone of the rhinos and clean out are government on both sides libs and rhinos want to destroy this country money and control is what they want so we need to destroy them and clean out both party’s Ryan makes me sick
Maxx says
It’s just too bad Ryan was even considered for Speaker. He has always been a GOP Establishment Rino from his very first day in the House of Representatives. His ploy about deciding to seek the Speakership was pure Kabuki Theater. What he wanted was the rule change by the House that he could not be removed no matter what. He is a coward and a traitor to conservatives in America. And Boehner is sitting back and laughing his a$$ off that he as able to pull another one over on the American people. Thanks Paul Ryan for showing us what I always knew your were…… Judas!!
Ernesto says
I’m so disgusted with the so called spineless republican party we have the majority & the Muslim in the White House has it all his way. Why did the Republicans beg this traitor Ryan to take this position. I’m with Trump all the way a non establishment politician who hasn’t sold his country for money.
Bud webster says
What scares me about trump is power, that,s the other aphrodisiac. Trump can.t be brought with dollars, can he be with power?. Ted Cruz is no sell out, he fights everyone both in his party, and the Marxists.
kay says
Bud Webster I agree with you and he has brains.
Thomas Mundy says
Just another pig feeding at the public trough. With both hand in the tax payers pockets & getting all the pack cash he can grab.
Bud webster says
Maybe America shouldn,t file a return, I bet that would get their attention
RM says
But that’s the FORMER Ryan in the photo.
It’s the Bearded Ryan that’s become the Pelosi Puppet since speakership.
Eddie G. says
Paul Ryan lost his Veep shot as partner to wimpy Romney who caved in with the RINO establishment to lose against Barack Obutthead. Ryan decided if you can’t fight ’em, join ’em, so he already being a RINO finds it easy to be a Dummycrat in sheep’s clothing just like the rest of his RINO colleagues. Now he’s not only grown a beard to be more appealing to Islamists but chooses the insanity of giving the White House another trillion to blow while we’re already $18 trillion in the hole. The man is as big a looneytoon as Bugs Bunny. Paul should be ashamed of himself for letting the American people down, thus to a grateful nation should resign his office for being such an idiot,.
GN says
Follow the money.
Ralph Compton says
Yep, Follow the money.
humpy b says
IF YOU RECALL RYAN WAS ONLY WILLING TO ACCEPT THE SPEAKER’S JOB IF IT WASNT POSSIBLE TO FIRE HIM .HE TOOK THE JOB KNOWING FULL WELL WHAT HE WAS UP TOO .LIKE HIS FRIEND JOHN BONER . ILL BET HE AND JOHN ARE BENEFITING FROM THE DEMO RATS AND OVOMIT
PAUL RYAN MAYBE YOU COULD LEARN FROM THE JAPANESE WHEN YOU DISGRACE AND BETRAY YOUR PEOPLE. THEY DO THE RIGHT THING THEY FALL ON THEIR SWORD THE AIR WOULD BE SO MUCH CLEANER THEN AND PEOPLE WOULD BE A LOT HAPPIER
larry says
no such agreement exists, nor would it be binding… what the whiny little bitch-boy said, was he wouldn’t run for the position if anyone criticized him or opposed him… i assure you he CAN and SHOULD be removed… by any means necessary…
big red says
When
When “it” became pres. “ir” said i won get over it. Well the rhino should take the same stance
larry says
you’re a moron…
Charles Kuboosh says
Paul Ryan needs to be Recalled!!!
Charles says
Paul Ryan Needs to be Recalled!!!
Gerald Graham says
Remember Ernie Fords song. sixteen tons and wh da you got, another day older and deeper in debt.
paul collins says
Instead of complaining, the people in his district must make sure that he is not reelected.that will solve the problem of not being able to
remove him from the speaker position.

larry says
HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN A CHICKEN SHIT, SPINELESS SELL-OUT… WHY IS EVERYONE SO SURPRISED…
GET HIM OUT OF LEADERSHIP OR WE’RE ALL SCREWED… HE’S A TOTAL PIECE OF SHIT…
Stewart M Bestwick says
Again, we the people, get brushed into the closet because of a Rhino replacing a Rhino. Ryan is an example of a turn coat, traitor and a professional politician of the lowest caliber. Since he’s be there, as Bohemer’s replacement, all he’s done is kiss Obama’s rear and go along with the “minority”! This is another example of professional politicians following the wishes of other belt way bandit.
george richter says
it seems to me the republicans are a bunch of PUSSIES
Henry Poussard says
He’s a “RINO” and will help Obama in the next year screw this country. He’s like Rubio, just not sure where they are coming from. Don’t believe you will see much change with these 2. Ryan and Rubio will not give you a conservative look! We are so far in a mess that it needs someone from the outside to make changes, Go Trump, and if you need someone with party affiliations go for Cruz….
Len says
Well it didn’t take long. I had a suspicion about Ryan when he approved TPP, but I was hoping.
Richard Shuster says
Paul Ryan has become one of the biggest disappointments in current day Washington politics. To sneak thru a 2 AM omnibus funding bill that includes Planned “Un-“Parenthood, and scores of other liberal programs that have been known corrupt, has shown once-again that the insiders of both parties are not to be trusted. Just another reason for 2 -2 year terms limits in both House and Senate, likewise for the President… I am totally disgusted at the whole bunch of scoundrels….
Ron H says
The other evening I attended the Donald Trump rally here in Las Vegas. An organizer asked if would be supporting Trump.
I told her yes and that i would vote for him in the upcoming caucus. After that I will withdraw from the GOP. The party is a disgrace and worse than the Liberal Socialists. We have been lied to and deceived by these lying bastards.Ryan worse than Boehner. We knew that O’Boehner was up Obama’s butt. Really had hoped better from Ryan but not disappointed.Our nation is done for, thanks in part to a stupid electorate and lame liars like Paul Ryan.
David Davis says
Castrated when he got sworn in. Have any GOP members ever looked at how when they have the majority the democrats get everything they want; and when the democrats have the majority they get the same anyway. Why vote for congress anymore, just give Pelosi a pat on her wrinkled old ass and let her do her thing. GOP has no balls, no leaders, and deserves to get slapped around like a stepchild.
Larry342516 says
We all thought Boehner was a sell out, but Ryan will be the worse house speaker in history. Ryan loves to spend money for the rich, and it all comes from the tax payer who he cares nothing about. Obama approves over one trillion dollars for Taiwan ,and like Ryan doesn’t care where the money comes from. Our dollar on the brink of collapsing, and they keep funding useless programs. If Trump a seven billion dollar man makes president do you really think things will change. One thing about the American people is we love to dream. Right now it is a bad one. Wake up America.
William Hays says
Why is Ayatollah Rand growing a beard?
Gen Early says
Ryan is a ProgreSSive Putz like the Boner before him. Nancy Pelousy is the Real Speaker, just give her the gavel and be done with it. Chamberpot Repubs don’t give a damn about their constituents. The Marxist DemocRats are insane, but at least know how to keep their sheeples satisfied with free stuff.
GLENN says
Ryan was not the person to have as the Speaker. He stumbled into the position by making his own demands and then getting the Freedom Caucus to support his entry. No time to waste. Time to remove his service from the position. Maybe it will finally embarrass the political system into listening to the people. That will come with his removal. Nothing will change until he is gone from the position. Bye Bye Mr. Ryan.
Deb says
Why would he do that? And the concession he got only helps people that own big oil. That is not for the people
James says
This Guy Ryan needs to go. He is a sole member of the Republican Establishment. Tea Party members must have been asleep or intoxicated when they helped confirmed this man as Speaker. He is already throwing barbs at Donald Trump who wants to provide more security for our country by blocking Syrian refugees from coming in. They should be blocked as some no doubt will be terrorist and kill many innocent Americans. There is no way to screen these people except to ask them if they are terrorist. Just how shallow can Speaker Ryan be to agree to let this take place and to pay for it with tax payers money? Where are the Harry Truman’s and Dwight Eisenhower’s that we are in such desperate need of today? We definitely need some one outside the system for us to have any chance at all of ever recovering from the mess we are in. Go Trump and Cruz.
Tadhg says
Golly gee … some GOP flake who was able to get enough votes rolled over and played dead for the ruling group in the GOP (RINOs all). I may have a heart attack and die from the surprise.
Meli C. says
I am a resident of Wisconsin and have met Ryan several times at various functions for Republican state candidates, over the years. He’s the nicest guy you’d ever want to meet, but not the same Representative that was elected in 1999 to bring the voice of southeastern Wisconsin’s District 1 to Washington. It seems to be a common tale with so many conservative politicians – only to be cured by one solution – TERM LIMITS! I remember on Independence Day hearing the story about our founders and how they put aside their successful businesses and personal lives in order to sacrifice for our country. In our America, it’s the opposite – the politicians BECOME successful personally, professionally and monetarily, only after they get elected to Congress, specifically because they’re able to make a lifetime career out of what is supposed to be ‘public service’. They’re often influenced by lobbyists when making vital decisions – in fact many of them end up as lobbyists when they lose a congressional race or retire. What’s wrong with this picture? The only two candidates running for president in the 2016 race that would provide any hope of getting term limits for Congress, are Trump, Carson, and possibly Fiorina. The rest are all of the same mind – career politicians. That is not what our founders intended.
Dante S. says
I agree that there should be term limits to congress. But I have to disagree that trump or Carson would be great for this country. They are too onesided. Id rather all three of them (Trump, Carson and Fiourina) become congress members and possibly a speaker of house. A country isnt a business its a country. While there are some similar aspects they are not the same.
david says
Another traitor. You are a pathetic excuse for a republican speaker. You have sold out your party and the United States to a rogue president. You and Obama belong in jail together, You and Obama are a disgrace to America and the US Government!!
dc says
Invasion of the body snatchers….once you reach a certain level of govt you become one of them.
Ryan is a turd. Period.
Art Ross says
When push comes to shove, Ryan caves in. He is soft, just like “Obummer”. Ryan can take his “crap sandwich” and shove it! No wonder Americans are upset and angry! When does this BS ever end?
Paul says
Well Mr. Ryan, now that you have betrayed us and grown that UGLY beard when are you going to admit to being a Muslim ? You are a traitor and YOU NEED TO RESIGN !!!!
Scott Litteral says
MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN, VOTE TRUMP
This country is a business, it needs to be run like a business by business people like Donald and Carly, all government workers are guaranteed a job and won’t be fired. Why try? they have nothing to lose. They make it way too hard to start a business and act like gods. No one should be elected to anything in this country , not even dog catcher if they never have started a business from scratch and run it for a few years with over 50 employees without going bankrupt. This includes getting financed and putting up your house or your relatives assets for financing because the Banks won’t lend a dime?/ we will send kids to college and forgive there debt, or better yet we will bail out auto company’s that make Buick’s in China to sell here, I would bet most government employees never even had a lemonade stand as children. Why do they think they can run this country. Obama is the worst enemy this country could ever have and they voted him in. ( twice ) What are they thinking? He has turned this country Socialist. Now he wants our guns. I think guns should be mandatory. everyone should carry a gun in plain sight and that will help stop the massacres. Right to bear arms seemed to me that our founding fathers were not saying that for foreign enemy’s, I think they were planning for the future to protect us from our Government. p/s How does every president or high official government person end up a multi millionaires? I just read that Hillary has $45million and her daughter was able to purchased a $10 Million condo in N.Y. N.Y. three or four years out of school after starting to work in the Clinton Foundation that gets donations ( why do they get donations) From foreign country’s. The Clinton’s came from one of our poorest state’s. Plus we’re paying them salary until they all die off. Were Crazy.
Dante S. says
First you all are not americans disrespecting the president as such. One great argument for Ryan is that the TEA PARTY is house majority. The Tea party voted in such a bill and you all voted in the tea party candidates. So I think you all are to blame for the bill being passed. I guess i forgot to vote you all in to office. Are any of you politicians? Do any of you know exactly what goes on when dealing with politics on a professional level? You all are speculating and provide no proof of anything you are stating. You all sound like a bunch of angry kids trying argue an adults POV. You want Trump to run the country? A man who would fire a million employees if it meant to gain some form of capital. Think of the americans he would sacrifice for capital gains. By the way the country’s deficit has been decreased during President Obama’s time in office. The crazy part is Im not even a President Obama fan. He has some hang ups as we all do. Y’all put President Bush in office of which he and his father destroyed this country’s deficit. But he didnt even get as much disrespect as President Obama recieves. I dont trust any Party. Id rather vote independent. One last thing you all are biased arguing from a biased POV. One thing you should learn from this post is that if you cant argue from both sides of a debate then you have lost the arguement. You all are one sided.

Pope Francis forced the money back to America’s Treasury but likely the money found another bank to hold the bribe money in.
