Paul Ryan and entitlements

I know Speaker "Ayn Rand" Ryan, while being against any government "entitlements" for the people he supposedly represents, will gladly accept his government "entitlement" check, (just like his juvenile idol), at the age of just forty eight, courtesy of the American Tax Payer once he leaves the government. At being only forty eight he still has at least almost twenty years of being able to find gainful employment. Why should he receive a retirement, government "entitlement" check at the age of forty eight while average Americans have to wait until sixty six or later to receive their full "entitlement".....which is now a virtual pittance in comparison? He is a hypocrite. He will gladly take that government handout and stuff it in his pocket along with the checks he'll be getting from the K street lobbyists so he can be at home to raise his children he so painfully has missed while screwing the rest of us the best he can.

He will have plenty of money, and probably sleeps just fine at night because he has no conscience to bother him.
