Paul Ryan | Full Episode 7.7.18 | Firing Line with Margaret Hoover | PBS

“Firing Line” explores the federal government’s poverty agenda, an issue that has become a passion project for Speaker Ryan. While the results of President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty” are more nuanced than any political talking point, both conservative and liberal policy makers including the Speaker point to the near constant poverty rate as proof that the war has resulted in stalemate.

Looks awkward

Actually Ryan you spent a # of years looking for ways to pursue your policies w/o making dumb statements. Your views didn't change & your objective to destroy the social safety net. It strikes me as odd that Paul always wants to defund social security and other programs but never wants to defund R&D for private companies. They get to receive subsidies and funding for their business, pay no taxes, and charge consumers a lot of money. This is actually the wrong thinking that's been killing us.

Ryan would have been so much better than Trump.

[@geoffreynhill2833]

You've must be kidding about Buckley, Margaret. See him at the Oxford Union debating James Baldwin. Full of admiration for his own performance, smarmily, creepily hypnotic like the snake in Disney's "Jungle Book", a complete narcissist.

PS: Millions of men and women are doing two or three jobs every day - sixteen-hour days - and they're still struggling to pay rent or mortgage. It's serfdom, just one step up from slavery, in the richest, most powerful country in history. Neo-liberalism or Nero-liberalism?

Even your sponsors are the rich. I guess it makes THEM feel better.
