Paul Ryan's Safety Thong

Paul Ryan wants to keep the safety net for the poor from becoming a hammock. This just shows how out of touch Mr. Ryan is. If you look at the benefits available with the safety net and consider the cost of living, I think you will agree that the net can hardly be considered a net anymore.

A hammock cradles you, and a net catches you. Mr. Ryan would shrink it more, so we should think of something smaller than a net. Much smaller.

So let's start referring to the social programs that remain if Mr. Ryan gets his way as the Ryan Safety Thong. Like a thong, Mr. Ryan would leave some very important things unsupported. Like a thong, it would not cover nearly enough. And like a thong, it would become very uncomfortable at precisely the wrong time. And for average American a thong is just not a good idea.

I would not even wish Mr. Ryan's Safety Thong on Mr. Ryan himself. That's just something I really don't want to picture.
