Bams can't read a P & L statement, never run even a lemonade stand. No one home...
anyone else see any irony in Romney and Ryan berating and belittling fellow Americans who receive benefits when both of them themselves received benefits in their early years?
Romney's dad got benefits when he moved back to the US from Mexico.
Ryan paid his education with the Social Security benefits from his dad's pension.
you couldn't make this stuff up....
