Another hypocrite. Roadmap for America's Future Paul Ryan (proponent of
private accounts, raising the retirement age, means testing) received
survivor benefits when his father died.

excerpt:

"One day as a 16 year old, Ryan came upon the lifeless body of his
father. Paul Ryan, Sr. had died of a heart attack at age 55, leaving the
Janesville Craig High School 10th grader, his three older brothers and
sisters and his mother alone. It was Paul who told the family of his
father’s death.


With his father’s passing, young Paul collected Social Security benefits
until age 18, which he put away for college. To make ends meet, Paul’s
mother returned to school to study interior design. His siblings were
off at college. Ryan remembers this difficult time bringing him and his
mother closer."
