Paul Ryan to Students- Forget our help, go work three jobs!
Matthew Lowe: I come from a very middle class family and under President Obama, I get $5,500 per year to pay for school, which doesn’t come close to covering all of the funding, but it helps ease the burden. Under your plan, you cut it by 15 percent. I was just curious why you would cut a grant that goes directly to the middle- and lower-class people that need it the most.

Paul Ryan: Cause Pell Grants have become unsustainable. It’s all borrowed money…Look, I worked three jobs to pay off my student loans after college. I didn’t get grants, I got loans, and we need to have a system of viable student loans to be able to do this.

2. says the guy who mooched off survivor social security benefits
just because his father died of a heart attack when Paul was a teenager? And now Paul grows up and is the lobbyists' best friend? High horse indeed.

4. Seriously, why does it always have to be "Three Jobs"?
If they are still around, by 2020 I predict that your average teabagger will claim that they worked seven simultaneous jobs and worked 200 hours a week to put put their 19 foster children through college.

I'm starting to become of the mind that, if you HAVE to tell everyone how hard you work (ed)....you probably don't work very hard at all.
