On Tuesday morning of this week, Paul Ryan did what all good Republicans must do, and
he appeared on Fox and Friends to tout his Republican health care plan that's going to
strip tens of millions of people of their health care insurance.
But that's not exactly what was so profound about Paul Ryan's appearance here.
What struck me as odd was the fact that Paul Ryan told Fox and Friends that if the Republicans
are able to enact their agenda, this is going to be the most productive Congress and the
most productive presidency, in our lifetimes.
Here's why that is so laughable.
Paul Ryan, as Speaker of the House, has accomplished precisely nothing.
Nothing.
You have one piece of health care legislation that passed your House.
I get that.
It's not a law yet, and you had to rewrite it three different times, and you could still
barely get enough members of your own party to sign in able to get it to pass.
Aside from that, you've literally done nothing.
You have not come up with any ideas.
You have not passed any kind of legislation to make things better in the United States.
All you have done is take away things that Obama did.
That's it.
Folks, since January of this year, the Republicans in Washington D.C., the only things that have
actually passed and been signed into law are things to repeal what Barack Obama did as
president.
These aren't new ideas.
There's not necessarily new legislation on the books that affects us.
There's just laws that protect us that are now gone.
Republicans have come up with nothing, nothing.
Paul Ryan has the audacity to go on Fox News and say that, "Man, we're like this close
to being the most productive Congress ever."
Well, I guess maybe in terms of repealing what your predecessor did, sure.
You're on track to be the most productive.
You know what you're also on track to be?
The most hated.
You have an approval rating in the teens right now, Paul-Ryan-led Congress.
People don't like you.
They don't like what you're doing.
They don't want you to enact your agenda because they understand now after seeing this health
care bill, after seeing your tax reform plans that are just a giveaway to the 1%, they don't
want you to succeed.
In fact, most of us outside of your little district want you to go home and never work
in politics again.
But I'm sure the folks of Fox and Friends applauded Paul Ryan's statement.
They love it when Republicans do what Republicans say they're going to do, which is screw over
poor people and the middle class, and that's the only thing Paul Ryan is good at.
As of right now, Paul, I've got to be honest with you.
You have accomplished nothing, you have come up with zero new ideas, and you are going
to go down as one of the worst U.S. House Speakers in history.
