(CNN) -- Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin is considered a
rising GOP star and the Republican Party's leader on fiscal and
budgetary issues.
The chairman of the House
Budget Committee was first elected to Congress at age 28, and later
helped launch the party's "Young Guns" program to recruit candidates in
districts where Republicans lost.
Now 42, Ryan is the
architect of the House GOP's budget proposal, which Democrats compared
to an attack on the poor, but Republicans say is intended to save
Medicare and rein in spending.

Miami University in Ohio in 1992. He was raised as a Catholic, and
worked at a family construction company before getting into politics.
In the House, Ryan is also a senior member of the Ways and Means Committee.
He has frequently pushed
the Republicans' "class warfare" line against President Barack Obama and
is a major critic of his signature health reform law.
Because he hails from
Wisconsin, an important battleground, Ryan's youthfulness could appeal
to a group that the president enjoys advantages with.

The only downside I can see is having to restrain Ryan during the debates lest he yield to the temptation of humiliating his delusional opponent.
poor is a place I've lived many times; but I could always find a job....The Messiah has done away with that..
The real story is that there is no two party system at the national level, except when it came to Obamacare. It's all a shell game and big show for the dump, stupid public.
When Democrats demand Ryan explain his budget, he simply declines until Obama puts forth his budget plan. End game! Obama knows as soon as he puts forth a plan, he'll be subject to ridicule. If it's a good plan, the House will pass it--which he clearly would not want.
That is a great line for the convention!
