He became the man he is today thanks to a helping hand from hard working people in this country whom pay in to social security. His idea of paying back that favor is to push to cut funding to Social Security that would affect about 70% of the people whom receive it.
Paul Ryan the hypocrite? Oh of course not because it's Ok when he gets Govt handouts just not other people..

really, i guess you have never paid any taxes.
if you had, you'd know that you pay into social security from your own salary (matched to some degree by employer), this money is in a government fund which you can use when you retire or if you become disabled or if you die your family can use this money to get by.
some douche bag politicians allowed for "borrowing" from this fund to pay for other things which is why now this fund is getting depleted prematurely and one solution is to push retirement a few years.
This issue is right up there next to healthcare and national debt (unemployment is a minor problem compared to these elephants)
Issues so large that no President want to touch them as in reality, it is tremendously difficult to find a good solution.
Obama did not fix healthcare, he patched it up a little..
