Matt Yglesias recieved a fundraising letter from Paul Ryan yesterday… You may be shocked to learn that Mr. Ryan is deeply concerned about the plight of the poor in America…. Hey! Stop laughing…
WTF indeed. You, Mr. Ryan, more than anyone in congress, are responsible for the situation where the “safety net for the poor is coming apart at the seems.” You, sir, have demonstrated through your actions that you represent the Washington that doesn’t care.
Does this kind of cynical manipulation really work??? Oh wait… Of course it does. It’s how people like Ryan stay in power.
he cares enough to have them arrested so they get shelter and a meal….or else he cares enough to offer them candy and a packer/badger schedule.
