Overheard Outside Rep. Paul Ryan's Office:


Paul Ryan

“Obamacare robs people of the dignity of having to work to receive health care! They become lazy asses sucking on the welfare tit.”

House Budget Committee Chair Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), now being touted as a possible 2016 presidential contender

Rosie the Riveter

“So low- and middle-income women who might decide to drop out of the workforce and be stay-at-home moms because they no longer have to work full-time jobs just to get health insurance and can instead purchase health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, would be robbed of the dignity of having to work to receive health care?”

Rosie the Riveter

Paul Ryan

“EXACTLY. That’s what the GOP has been saying for years. GET TO WORK PEOPLE! You’ll feel better about yourselves. You are brilliant, Rosie.”
Rep. Ryan

Rosie the Riveter

“Fuck you. Stay on topic. Wouldn't it be good if moms were able to spend more time at home, or just be full-time moms? Isn’t that one of the GOP’s ‘family values’? I worked out of the home as a single parent, jackass. It's a hard decision to make.”
Rosie the Riveter

Paul Ryan

“Well of course it would be good if moms didn't have to work. Moms should be at home with their kids—unless they need health care, of course. And if that’s the case, they need to GET BACK ON THE JOB AND AVOID BEING ROBBED OF THE DIGNITY OF WORK.”
Rep. Ryan

Rosie the Riveter

“But, Rep. Ryan, sir. What about moms in rich families? They don’t have to work. Aren’t they depriving themselves of this dignity of work?”


Rosie the Riveter

Paul Ryan


“Rich people don’t deprive themselves of anything. That is the way it works.”
Rep. Ryan

Rosie the Riveter
“What it sounds like is the GOP is saying it’s a really good and wonderful thing for RICH, WEALTHY moms to stay at home with their children, but for low- and middle-income families, those moms need to get their asses back to work. Is that what you mean to say?”


Rosie the Riveter

Paul Ryan

“Of course that’s what I mean to say. Rich families have always been able to afford the best things, and that includes being able to stay at home and nurture their children. OH WAIT. I don’t mean it that way at all. WE ARE THE GOP! We are the party of the working class!”
Rep. Ryan

Rosie the Riveter


“But don’t you think low- and middle-income children need the care and nurturing of stay-at-home moms? Don’t you think that is important for people who aren’t rich?”
Rosie the Riveter

Paul Ryan


“I didn’t say it wasn’t important. I just said I don’t give a fuck. I want people to have the ability to ACHIEVE DIGNITY THROUGH WORKING! Rich people have dignity WITHOUT working. That’s how it works. Always has. I think. Wait … Damn you Rosie! You are putting words in my mouth.”
Rep. Ryan

Rosie the Riveter


“You’re lucky I don’t put a few RIVETS in your mouth, shithead.”

Shut Down the Government

We don’t need no government programs
We don’t need Obamacare
We don’t need to raise your taxes
We’ve got all the money we need

And we don’t have to run a-round
Cutting budgets every day
Because we’ve got a work stoppage
And nothing’s getting done this way

Oh, our party, it’s alright
Oh, our party’s clean and very white
Don’t you know that we

Yes, we did, we did

We shut down the government
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When we go out in our districts
And we greet all the people we know
Oh, when our message reaches people
My heart fills with de-si-re

When we cut programs, or put people on the street
It ‘bout drives me out of my mind
Yeah, when we cut social programs
Chills run up and down my spine

Oh, our party, it’s alright
Oh, our party’s clean and very white
Don’t you know that we

We shut down the government
We shut down the government
Yes, we did, we did

We shut down the government
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now is there any party
Got a shutdown just like ours?
There’s just no other party
Got a, got a shutdown just like ours

Yeah, now can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Oh, can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
I'm talking, talking 'bout our party
(We shut down the government)

Talking 'bout our party

Talking 'bout our party
(We shut down the government)

Talking 'bout our party, my party, our party
(We shut down the government) 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, my party, our party

Talking 'bout our party, my party, our party
(We shut down the government)
