Paul Ryan Is Elected Speaker of the House and Replaces BoehnerBy selfnews Post Minutes ago, it was announced that congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin would be replacing Boehners position as Speaker of the House. This makes him second-in-line to become President should anything happen to both the President and Vice President of the United States. His appointment takes the role from other candidates like Daniel Webster and Nancy Pelosi. In 2012, Ryan was Mitt Romneys running mate in that years Presidential election facing Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Shawna Thomas (@ShawnaNBCNews) October 29, 2015 In an odd good-bye ceremony, John Boehner reached for a box of tissues, earning a standing ovation as the tissues signaled his affinity for crying at events. Boehner is also known for saying that the battle over governmenthas been going on for more than 200 years,addingthat real change takes time. Ryans government cuts have come to be known as the Ryan budget. In 2011, there were fears that his approach to Medicare, turning it into a grant program, would quickly turn healthcare into rationing care, especially if there were more economic downturns. Apparently happy to seem him go, Conservative lawmakers had allegedly forced Boehner into retirement and opted to campaign for Ryan to put the Republican Representative in charge of moving legislation through the 435-member chamber. What do you think of this latest development what does it spell for the future? This post appeared first at selfnews Post The nightmare never ends. This might just get interesting before the 2016 election . //////////////////////////////////////// I didnt know anything about this guy so I did some research. He makes Boehner look like a card carrying communist. Ryans concept of democracy is a totally twisted sham and insult to the American people. He thinks his election gives him the mandate to be a prostitute and go to boy for international corporations as to the people that elected him, well they certainly are expendable as far as he is concerned. Under his leadership the republican party will reach new heights of corruption and coddling business in ways not seen for a 100 years.
