Paul Ryan's last day as Speaker of the House is fast approaching.

He'll kick off the new year by leaving the United States House of Representatives after

20 years of service.

As Recline has been writing about Ryan for a good while and says, 2018 Paul Ryan would be

a real bummer to the young Paul Ryan who couldn't wait to come legislate in Washington,

DC.

So he is a long time Republican staffer.

He works for Jack Kemp, who is Bob Dole's presidential candidate in 1996.

And that Jack Kemp experience is very formative for Ryan.

He's very famously a devotee of Anne Rand.

It inspired me so much that it's required waiting in my office for all my interns and

my staff.

We start with Atlas Shrugged.

But you can't find another thinker or writer who did a better job of describing and

laying out the moral case for capitalism than Anne Rand.

And the fight we are in here and make no mistake about is a fight of individualism versus

collectivism.

So he's like a very conservative guy.
