Shock/Horror:
Paul Ryan has announced that he will not be running for the Congress of the USA
Perhaps the worst kept secret in Washington.
Say it ain't so Paulie !
He announced proudly that he has achieved all he set out to do when he came to Washington 25 years ago.
- Screwed the feckless poor out of health care.
- Stopped the abuse by the disabled,infirm and mentally disturbed.
- Halted the flow of the taxpayer ' god given dollars to local government where
- it was wasted on education,homeless shelters,local police and teachers salaries.
- Restricted the right to abortion.
- Diverted money that would otherwise be wasted on feeding children and pregnant single parents
- In order to help needy oil and coal companies.
- Almost single handedly crusaded for giant multinationals to have the right to repatriate offshore funds tax free.
- He had helped the president destroy programs to reform immigration and to break the government's promise to young people brought to the US as infants.
Ryan noted that he was "proud of what this congress has achieved"
and what he himself had spent half his life working for .
- The largest tax cut for corporations and the super rich in American History.
- Massive increases to Military Weapons Procurement despite protestations from short sighted generals/admirals that much was not needed,did not work and led to vast waste.
- A massive increase in Federal deficits and debt
- Proudly forced through despite an economy in boom.
- Inheriting full employment,low inflation and increasing productivity.
- These brave changes in the face of resistance from economists,the Federal Reserve and sundry "experts".
He had bravely toiled for massive tax cuts for Twenty Five years --straight out of college.
There has yet to be any reporting on how his teenage kids feel about the change.
Truthfulness
Compassion
Independence
Backbone
Humility
Integrity
Speaking Truth to Power
He stressed that as a man of faith he believed that if his children could fake these virtues as well as had their father then they too could have a blessed and rewarding life.
He refuted the scurrilous rumours, fomented by the Republican House Majority and by the forlorn Senate Leader Mitch McConnell,that he was somehow abandoning a sinking ship.
Running away from a demented President or sliding out from under the coming Publican cataclysm.
All in order to be "viable" for a future Presidential run.
" I'm not going to run for president" he chortled.
His staff has briefed that a month before the mid term elections Ryan will enter a monastery for 60 days of meditation and prayer.He will take vows of silence and not be available to comment on worldly matters.
He firmly believes that it is easier for a Publican politician to enter the rear end of a camel than to enter a partnership at Goldman Sachs[aka heaven].
Cyclops believes that it is preposterous to suggest that Ryan 🐔🐔🐔is wimping out now in order not be embroiled in the inevitable Publican civil war after the elections.
Nor does HRH believe that Ryan intends to benefit excessively from the largess that he has bestowed on the super wealthy,oil companies,banks and greedy multinational corporations.
He would not be so crass as to leave the speakership,abandon his colleagues,enter a retreat,mentor his children and then hit the speaker circuit,take on multiple boards,offer high level "strategic' advice or receive consultancy retainers with private equity firms and investment banks.
He would not compromise his soul for a lousy $10 or 20 million a year.
P.S. A scanned photocopy of some back of envelope calculations have been sent to the palace in a plain brown envelope.
Ryan driven tax relief to Large Corporations and the super rich are estimated at 1 1/2 Trillion Dollars --per year.
The Koch Brothers alone are estimated to benefit from the changes by at least one billion.
A 1% commission on 1 billion= $10 million
A 1/1000th% commission on $1.5 trillion= $15 million.
Still it's too far fetched that a USA politician could be thinking like that.
