Yes, and apparently Paul Ryan agrees. Though of course he doesn't.

"Did you know that Paul Ryan received Social Security benefits after his 55-year-old father passed away from a heart attack?
Yes, it’s true. At the age of 16, Ryan began receiving Social Security benefits and saved them to help him pay for college. He stopped receiving benefits when he was 18 years old.
Undernews reported this story a year ago, and stated:
Representative Paul Ryan is one example of the millions of people whose lives have depended on our social contract with the American people..."
How can the hypocracy and BS get any worse? These guys would be outright comical if the stakes weren't so high...
If the Romney family were once "immigrants" and were on welfare, doesn't that show the system works? Even if you believe that his work at Bain was honorable, it would be an impressive display of how safety nets can make poor refugees into one of the world's richest families, and produce 2 candidates for President in such a short time.
God Bless Welfare!
