The Honest Opposition

Ezra tackles Paul Ryan. I won't pretend to understand everything I read. But I understood enough it to (gasp!) want to know more about Ryan's solutions to health-care. He actually sounded serious. Loved this piece of rhetoric:

This is my 12th year. If I lose my job over this, then so be it. In that case, I can be doing more productive things. If you're given the opportunity to serve, you better serve like it's your last term every term. It's just the way I look at it. I sleep well at night.

Maybe it's true of Ryan, maybe it's not--I'm counting on some Wisconsin people to fill me in. But it's the kind of attitude a lot of Congressfolk could use.
