"On Ryan, Cheney called it" - M.A. Thiessen 8/13/12

Paul Ryan has famously said that he thinks Social Security has become "a hammock, which lulls able-bodied people into lives of complacency and dependency".
So he wants my 82 year old grandma to get off her lazy butt and get a job. But Ryan himself has been "working" for the government his entire life, he's never even had a real job.
"Perhaps Paul Ryan just wanted to take the edge off with a glass of red wine at dinner on Tuesday night.
The Wisconsin Republican was spotted out to dinner at Bistro Bis, a fancy restaurant near Union Station, drinking a glass of $350 wine. Ryan was dining with two economists, and not one, but two bottles of the pricey pinot noir were ordered to the table, Talking Points Memo reports.
At a nearby table, Susan Feinberg, a professor of business at Rutgers who was dining out with her husband for her birthday, was outraged by the expensive order. "We were just stunned," she told TPM. "I was an economist, so I started doing the envelope calculations and quickly figured out that those two bottles of wine was more than a two-income working family making minimum wage earned in a week."
