That miscreant, that social constructionist, that Ayn Rand-acolyte, ... Paul Ryan is at it again!
I have just learned the following from ThinkProgress ....
House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) was recently on a conservative radio talk program sounding off on social matters near and dear to his heart: poverty of inner city communities, "real culture problems", and what should be done about them.
My view:
Mr. Rand, er I mean Mr. Ryan, has in the past extensively talked about "poverty traps" and such. He persists in arguing for draconian measures to curb or do away with past or current poverty programs, but he has yet to propose any even halfway acceptable answers (solutions) to the problems. All we have is the same old blame-the-poor-for-their-poverty mantra ... and ... the "coded" cultural (racial) stratification of society as a permanent reality. Let's not forget that he is actually not a proponent of community action although he pays lip service to it in an oblique way. Furthermore, I'm sure he is totally opposed to any form or degree of the government's funding or participation in building or creating infrastructures and institutions to fight poverty.
