Dear Paul Ryan and Republicans: I didn’t realize that Medicare and Social Security were entitlements. I accidentally paid into them every paycheck for decades. Please mail me a refund check before you even think about cutting my benefits.
We need a newspaper to open an investigation to see exactly how much hush money has been paid to silence the victims of Congress and their transgressions. Then force them to resign.
