Why is Paul Ryan's using the police to avoid constituents?

Where's Paul Ryan? He's under his desk hiding from constituents. A group of unemployed constituents staged a sit-in outside Congressman Paul Ryan's district office last week - upset with the fact that their Congressman isn't holding any free town-hall meetings during the August recess. Ryan IS holding corporate sponsored town halls that charge people 15 bucks to ask a pre-screened question, however. Well, yesterday - those constituents tried once again to meet with their Congressman - but were again denied entry into the building by police. That's right - Paul Ryan is now using the police to make sure he doesn't have to face those same constituents that he's trying to take Medicare from. So what kind of message does that send to voters? Isn't this exactly the reason why Congress only has a 14% approval rating? Here to defend Congressmen who ignore their constituents is Seton Motley - President of Less Government.

Why is Paul Ryan, the Social Security kid wasting tax payer dollars in order for not to face his own constituents and be held accountable?

Raise the capital gains tax, since that is dead money in the hands of some cynical gambler on Wall Street!

Stop medicare? Well, why have no GOP rep. refused to accept their own government HC plan? If it's so bad, why not stop all govt. HC plans & let the insurance companies run the whole show?

Social Security is not for GOP to touch to give to their rich buddies or pay off debt! You think it's wasteful to help the poorest in the country?

Is it patriotic to give tax breaks to the rich while they fire people?

You Republicans haven't balanced a single bugdet since Eisenhower. GOP is the biggest in wasting tax dollars on BS. Why is it handouts when it benefits the working class, and punishment to make the rich contribute to the mess they helped create?

So it's got nothing to do about a few bankers asking for a huge bailout, while conservative policies are letting corporations flag out, and millions losing their jobs in the process?

It's got nothing to do with the Bush policies of wasting trillions of dollars on tax cuts for the rich, hand outs to the oil industry, and starting illegal wars?

More than 50% of the budget is military spending alone!

Thanks to liberal policy the world economy is crashing. We must do two things to stop the meltdown NOW!!! Firstly, we need to raise all payroll taxes 10% for one year. We also need to stop (right now) wasteful handout programs like medicare, social security, unemployment,, etc. and lower the minimum wage to $2/hr so we can compete with China. I will work with Perry, Ryan and my other republican colleagues and take immediate action on these proposals. God bless the GOP!

What's his obsession with how people smell?

I wish you (Thom) wouldn't introduce your guests in such a tongue-in-cheek, smarmy manner. It makes all liberals look like these cheapshot a-holes, and honestly that's no way to introduce anyone on any credible news show. It insults your audience and gives the other side a +1.

Yes, part of Greece's problems are due to the bailout of bondholders. i.e. major western banks. I see that. My question to you is why Greece had/has to borrow so much to begin with?

It looks like Greek citizens vote themselves other people's money through the Treasury. The tax revenues aren't high to pay for the politician's promises to interest facitons feeding at the trough. It's a corrupt political patronage system/vote buying scheme. Don't get is so much debt next time.
