In other words, Ryan is OK with making it more likely that poorer people SUFFER AND DIE as long as his Koch paymasters get paid. <br /><br /> I really should buy guillotine futures.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-13614807858927851582017-12-04T08:28:17.789-06:002017-12-04T08:28:17.789-06:00I heard Ryan's comment on this deduction in hi...I heard Ryan's comment on this deduction in his interview with Steve Inskeep. He claimed that most of the people who used the medical deduction were already well off anyway. So it didn't matter if they lost it, or some such hogwash. He is heartless.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03075256737290432403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-12247580393735092822017-12-03T20:40:46.289-06:002017-12-03T20:40:46.289-06:00I think he knows exactly what he is doing.

He probably just did what the lobbyists told him to do. I don't think he is smart enough to look ahead and he certainly doesn't read the bills he pushes. He can't seem to answer questions beyond talking points.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
