"Talk to Paul Ryan? It'll cost you": "It will cost $15 to ask Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) a question
during the August congressional recess."

The House Budget Committee chairman isn’t holding any face-to-face open-to-the-public town hall meetings during the recess, but like several of his colleagues he will speak only for residents willing to open their wallets."

3. Might be worth it to spend a little more and
hire a prostitute. I would think it better to spend money on a much more honorable person.

4. someone should keep a running tally of all the people he has charged
and then request that the government DEDUCT those charges from his salary.

How DARE this asshole charge his constituents to talk to him! Deduct the charges and then fine his ass for the nerve of doing it.

13. Napoleon comes to mind. He's a very small man, both
literally and figuratively with small ideas taken from books written by a brain addled woman who normally does not appeal to anyone other than white, teenaged boys who have never taken a logic class.
