Paul Ryan’s college education was funded by Social Security benefits.
Nefarious! He’s trying to cut Social Security!
Except the fact that, as a 16-year-old, his father died, meaning Paul inherited his dad’s benefits which funded his education.
And except the fact that he doesn’t even want to cut benefits:
Here is Paul Ryan’s path to a balanced budget in three sentences: He cuts deep into spending on health care for the poor and some combination of education, infrastructure, research, public-safety, and low-income programs.

However, “President Obama is standing firm on insisting on Social Security cuts”.
That’s not evil right-wing spin either—this is from a liberal website.
Here’s a facebook thread where a rabid anti-Paul-Ryan devotee gets quickly shut up when this fact is pointed out.
Facts are the darndest things…
