Hi, freshwest,

I'm guessing that Ryan is one of the ninety-percent or-so that read Atlas Shrugged and didn't really understand it. His base is evangelicals, who wouldn't be amused to know that he was inspired to get into politics by a book that promotes atheism. The book is heartless, just like Ryan's budget. If you can stand to read Atlas Shrugged, you will see how goofy and unworkable Rand's philosophy is.
