Unfortunatly, no matter what this dear Fellow says, his hands are tied, and His Boss if Romney gets elected, will hold ALL The Cards, and Ryans Ideals will take a Back seat UNLESS His Boss the president should fall deathly Ill or be killed by something. Then and ONLY THEN, could Ryan’s Policies be put into place. But even then, he will at the Mercy of the FED Bankers.
