Quoted in Wisconsin politicians jolted by Ryan's decision, but not necessarily surprised. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 4/11/2018)
Make that 4
Time after time, Ryan would be hailed as a sage: a budget wonk, a "reformer" of Social Security and Medicare, a defender of the poor. Time after time, he would articulate the most transparent lies about social insurance programs and the Affordable Care Act, while interviewers as august as Charlie Rose sat at his feet, lapping it up. It was a conspiracy of ignorance that placed the welfare of millions of Americans at risk.
Some journalists laudably were immune to the magic. Among them, Matthew Yglesias [make that 5] of Vox, who on Wednesday recalled Ryan's fatuous promise to protect "dreamers"—the beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program being canceled by President Trump. He failed to protect them and failed to move legislation to revive DACA.
