Styling himself a "big supply-sider," "a policy guy," and a "political entrepreneur," Ryan happily holds forth on some of the driest topics Congress deals with--tax reform, market-based revamping of Social Security and Medicare, and his latest pet project, a redesign of the budget process.
Ryan refers to the federal entitlements he has set out to reform as "the last great vestiges of the welfare state." Entitlements make up two-thirds of the federal budget, he points out, and "have promoted a collectivist mentality, created a generation of dependency on the government, and eroded financial independence and self-reliance."
Before his career on Capitol Hill took off, Ryan got a BA in economics and planned to head to the University of Chicago for a Ph.D. But election to Congress put graduate school on hold.

 Extended Tax Cuts Will Likely Stall GROWTH Act:
Any dividends that are reinvested would likewise be tax deferrered according to the proposed bill, introduced by U.S. Representatives Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) and William Jefferson (D-La.) last May. The Investment Company Institute has championed the bill since its introduction, but also conceded it might be a two-year work in progress.
In fact, if there is a lesson to be learned from the recent extension of the law capping taxes on capital gains and dividends, it's that politicians are increasingly aware of a relatively new electorate: the individual investor.
Whereas, in the past, investing in stocks and bonds was only for the wealthy, mutual funds and 401(k) plans gave the middle class access to well-respected money managers, new capital markets and a reason to think of themselves not just as income-earners, but as investors, Holch said.
