When Paul Ryan heard about a meatloaf cookbook by two New York Times reporters, he shared his recipe for a venison meatloaf for “A Meatloaf in Every Oven” (Grand Central Publishing, 2017). Ryan, who grinds his own meat, is a deer hunter. Don't skimp on the ketchup, which co-author Jennifer Steinhauer notes gives the loaf a good zing. Recipe tested by Nancy Stohs. Makes 6 servings. 1 medium-size onion, finely chopped. 1 pound ground venison. ½ pound fatty ground beef, preferably not more than ...

Donald Trump And Paul Ryan’s Phony War

... retired or are near retirement — which means, despite its long-term significance, it has no impact on the budget over the next decade. And both Trump and Ryan are planning deep cuts to Medicaid. The similarities continue. Both favor increases in defense spending and dramatically weaker enforcement of labor, environmental, and financial regulation. Both favor deep cuts to anti-poverty spending. Trump is more enthusiastic than the regular GOP about infrastructure spending, but he has decided to postpone that issue until next year and use it as an election messaging vehicle rather than a real legislative priority. Most important, both agree that large, upper-income tax cuts are the party’s highest priority. Trump has even endorsed Ryan’s legislative strategy of sequencing Obamacare repeal first in order to grease the skids for bigger tax cuts. (“Statutorily and for budget purposes, as you know, we have to do health care before we do the tax cut,” he said this week.). It is true, as conservatives say, that Trump’s budget numbers do not really add up. But he is relying on the same voodoo economics assumptions ...

Conservatives Rebel On Health Care, And Gop Looks To Trump

... domestic programs and foreign aid. GOP Rep. Mike Simpson of Idaho, a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, said the budget as presented could not possibly pass the House. "No, no. There's a lot of members that have a lot of interest in a lot of these programs," Simpson said. "There's more to our government than just defense.". Yet for defense hawks, Trump's Pentagon spending didn't go far enough. Sen. John Mc Cain of Arizona complained that Trump's plans represented just a small increase over Obama's own Pentagon wish list. And, Trump's budget would leave large deficits intact while sparing Social Security and Medicare, the entitlements that make up an enormous and growing share of the federal budget. That puts Trump in direct conflict with Ryan and other leading Republicans who've long advocated adjusting entitlement programs to put them on a more sustainable footing and get deficits under control. Ryan himself, pressed on whether he still favored reforming entitlements, something that has been his ...

Paul Ryan Downplays Divisions Over Health Plan

... under President Obama. It also bolsters tax-advantaged health savings accounts and would unwind Obamacare’s strict coverage requirement, so people could find cheaper plans that cover what they want. The GOP wants to pay for its plan by taxing a portion of particular generous employer-sponsored health plans. That will likely rankle labor unions who fought Obamacare’s “Cadillac tax” on generous health plans, though Mr. Ryan said it is time to treat Americans equally, since job-based insurance is shielded from taxation. “The current tax system discriminates against people who don’t get health care at work,” Mr. Ryan said. Under the GOP plan, a person aged 30 or younger would receive subsidies of about $2,000, while someone over 60 would receive double that. Democrats have argued the tax credits won’t be generous enough, leading to fewer covered people. Mr. Meadows said the change is “bad policy” that, rather than addressing health costs directly, shifts them around, even to people who don’t need help. “Assuming you pay taxes,” he told reporters, “should I take money from you and give it to a millionaire, so they ...

Hundreds Of Speaker Paul Ryan's Constituents Held A Town Hall Meeting Without Him

... board member, said Ryan was invited to the event but didn’t respond. She said she found out he wasn’t coming through a story in the Kenosha News a few days earlier. “I don’t think he appreciates hearing things contrary to his ideology,” said Kozel. In response Sunday, a Ryan spokesman said constituents can get their opinions heard by the congressman in a variety of ways, including phone calls, faxes, email, electronic town hall meetings and visits to his offices. “In 2017 alone, Paul has sent over 16,500 unique responses to constituents who have contacted our office. Constituent service remains the top priority,” press secretary Ian Martorana said in an email. At the meeting, some held signs and some wore pink “pussy hats” as they listened to people discuss a variety of topics, including Medicare, Obamacare, immigration, Russian hacking of the presidential election, veterans issues, voter suppression and President Donald Trump’s efforts to build a wall along the Mexico border.

Paul Ryan's Voicemail Is Always Full

... our representatives need to hold open town halls " the editorial says, "In Penn Live comments and letters to the editor on Thursday alone: has anyone heard from Senator Casey lately?" Well, I've heard from U. S. Sen. Bob Casey. I repeat: I've heard from Casey. I've been calling and emailing and writing him regularly. I've had acknowledgments of five of my emails. I've been sent information regarding his positions on the nominations of Tom Price and Rex Tillerson for cabinet posts. Regarding U. S. Sen. Pat Toomey, I've had four acknowledgement emails and one letter that I regard as a "treasure." In it he writes, "Objective qualifications should matter more than ideology in the confirmation process." Now, that's interesting because as far as I call tell he's backed every one of President Donald Trump's nominees. He definitely has an alternate version of objective qualifications than mine. I'm certainly looking forward to getting in on one of the Tuesday with Toomey  events. Regarding my representative - U. S. Rep. ...

We Need To Get Answers’ On Russia

... Both the House and the Senate intelligence committees are beginning their investigations right now.”. “We’ve had one for a while — we’re increasing the scope of that investigation,” he said. “You’ve got to be mindful of the sources and methods of our intelligence community so you don’t compromise how we collect and gather intelligence while we get answers to these questions,” Mr. Ryan said. “The point is we need to get answers. We need to make sure that nothing happened that shouldn’t have happened as we go forward,” he said. Rep. Devin Nunes, California Republican and chairman of the House intelligence committee, said Monday he’s seen no evidence that Trump campaign officials had any contact with Russian officials during last year’s campaign, which would contradict recent reports. Rep. Adam Schiff, California Democrat and the ranking member on the committee, countered that it’s still too early in the investigation to know whether there’s been any collusion. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer said Monday that Democrats have put Sen. Richard Burr, North Carolina Republican and chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, ...

How Paul Ryan Is Getting Trump's Team Ready For Battles In Congress

... House economic policy - something that thrills Republicans who have dealt with him in various capacities in his prior life as a banker and vouch for him as a steady, pragmatic hand in an administration that needs them. But that also means his firm views on economic policy can run headlong into Ryan's best laid plans. Several sources familiar with the conversations said Cohn is cool to a central component of Ryan's tax reform plan, which would pay for lower rates through border adjustment, a concept that would raise more than $1 trillion over a decade by taxing imports while exempting exports. Then there's Kushner, who, for many lawmakers and staffers, arrived on Capitol Hill with a mixture of curiosity and, among the younger set of GOP aides, awe. "Dude is legit," one (very) junior aide told me recently, unsolicited, as the President's son-in-law appeared on a TV screen in the reception area of a lawmaker's office. He then asked if I knew Kushner personally in an apparent effort to validate that perspective. The former real estate developer formed relationships with several top GOP lawmakers over the course of the campaign and there's no secret how much weight his ...
