  1. hmmm…..I know many single mothers in Wisconsin that attend school (for free with Pell Grants), at $22,000 a year, she would qualify for pell grants, Fed subsidized loans and free childcare. Please let this woman know this information. She is also eligible for Energy assistance, and food share depending on the number of children.

    But lets get to the real issue. WHERE IS DAD!? Does he not have to pay for the child he made? What are the fathers responsibility here? If he has passed away, the mother would be getting SSI benefits for the child to help, if Dad worked.

    1. No stacy,

      The real issue is Paul Ryan and his hypocrisy, and his racist dog whistle denigration of minority populations, the core community make-up in a majority of the one real inner city in WI. The real problem is you buying into the structural racist and classist elitism, bigotry and apartheid tactics of decades of joblessness, underfunded or non-existent public transportation, and severely underfunded public schools, which you likely pander to as shamefully as Paul Ryan does, to this audience by the simple question you ask.

      Throw into the mix inadequate psychological help for any of the working poor, or for that matter, homeless military veterans and just plain medically needy, then add stop and frisk, “walking while black,” law enforcement tactics of inner city police populating the states jails with the highest percentage of men of color in any state of this union, right here in WI, and you have the unmitigated gall to ask, where is Dad.

      Close down DMV offices across the city and state, further handicap people’s ability to apply for an ID or schedule a driver’s test, add a bit more cost to the test, 30 hours of practice driving, 10 hours of night practice driving and no living wage for many people to even purchase and maintain a car in the first place with most former jobs in manufacturing having been shipped oversees,and you have boxed in a class of people with fewer and fewer actual choices, as much as you want to blind yourself to the reality. Combine hamper physical mobility with a food desert and you further hamper chances of better health through access to proper diet and you further exacerbate a bad situations. But you, just blame the victims. Are you employed by Paul Ryan and is he using your playbook, plagiarizing your work?

      I’m tempted to create a new award category, Deep-fried Bigotry on a stick™, but in not knowing all the details, this might be another case of plain old stupid on a stick. Either way, I’m really sick of the uncaring attitude, or purposeful hate displayed by blaming very likely vicitms of the capitalists who buy Paul Ryan lunch as he asks an out of work constituent requesting help to find work, if the guy wants apiece of candy at a parade.

That’s what kind of caring and out-reach we know and expect from an out of touch and sociopatic Paul Ryan. Again, where is Dad, is not the question.

      1. Apologizing for the first version of this post, the second is the edit. My overwhelming disgust for Mr/Ms Mahan’s question had me distracted as I apparently double posted.
