Does it matter that Paul Ryan dated a black woman?

It's another GOP diversion. The GOP doesn't want America to know that the GOP’s most outspoken advocate for cutting and privatizing Social Security Paul Ryan has benefited from Social Security (survivor benefits) and other government programs himself for most of life. (His dead fathers' Social Security paid for his college tuition and he landed a congressional internship as a college junior.)

Ryan in fact has spent most of his life on the taxpayer payroll, first being elected as a US congressman in 1998, now serving his 14th year – and the favorite for a seat even if the GOP ticket loses because he is apparently going to run simultaneously for both VP and being re-elected congressman from Wisconsin's 1st District, located on the Illinois border. Ryan’s congressional ascent, all the way to the top spot on the Budget Committee, began with his Social Security-funded college education.

And let's not forget the bug-eyed crook has a taxpayer funded job Paul Ryan (he has the top spot on the Budget Committee). this is what he gets from our taxes:

The current salary (2011-2012) for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $174,000 per year….

As it is for all other federal employees, congressional retirement is funded through taxes and the participants' contributions. Members of Congress under FERS contribute 1.3 percent of their salary into the FERS retirement plan and pay 6.2 percent of their salary in Social Security taxes.

Members of Congress are not eligible for a pension until they reach the age of 50, but only if they've completed 20 years of service. Members are eligible at any age after completing 25 years of service or after they reach the age of 62. Please also note that Members of Congress have to serve at least 5 years to even receive a pension.

The amount of a congressperson's pension depends on the years of service and the average of the highest 3 years of his or her salary. By law, the starting amount of a Member's retirement annuity may not exceed 80% of his or her final salary.

As for medical and insurance and healthcare, most Americans can only dream of the coverage Ryan has received because we pay for most of it. the government pays a large share of the cost of coverage. On average, the government pays 72 percent of the premiums for its workers, up to a maximum of 75 percent depending on the policy chosen.

That's some fat deal on healthcare, pension, and salary that Paul Ryan has had since 1998 on the taxpayers' tab.

Perhaps it is the supreme irony that Paul Ryan is the ultimate leech and parasite, living off the taxpayers' hard-earned dollars. I'll say it again: Hypocrisy is the conservatards' lifeblood. Lord knows what an actual audit would turn up in government money adding to his family business's profit too.
