Paul Davis Ryan was born on January 29, 1970 in Janesville, Wisconsin and is the youngest of four children of Paul Sr. and Betty. Ryan still lives in Janesville on the same block he grew up on and is married to his wife Janna and has three kids. Ryan is part of the Republican party since 1999 and is serving the first district of Wisconsin and is currently in the role of Speaker of the House.
Janesville was established and developed by three main families, the Ryans, Fitzgeralds, and Cullens. The Ryan families can still be found in the area with around eight households in a six block radius of his house. They also still own a family construction business.

Ryan would work for a short time at his family construction business in 1997. Ryan thought about it and would run for the House seat and his popular name would help him and he would win the seat and would campaign against tax increases. He would win the seat and would continue to be re-elected. He would become the second youngest member elected into the House of Representatives. Since his first election he has easily been re-elected to the seat. Ryan’s first real policy fight would come in 2004 with the president election and George W. Bush. He had the option to pursue some of his more daring libertarian ideas. His big idea was to privatize Social Security which could be found from its main architect was Peter Ferrara who came up with it in 1979 and the idea would grow in the next decades. President Bush was the first president to embrace the idea but this was before 9/11 and after would turn his emphasis on terrorism and security policy and the war. Ryan was trying to be sure President Bush would return to the idea and this would become the turning point in Ryan’s political career. Ryan and supporters would go around preaching and explaining the plan of how American workers would be able to invest about half of their payroll taxes into private accounts instead of the current system.

He would also win the top Republican spot on the Budget Committee. The Budget Committee would give him a large staff of workers with a familiarity in economics and access to the resources and analyses available in the Congressional Budget Office. This spot would give him the challenging job to come up with alternative plans to the majority Democratic budget. Ryan’s idea would be a little too extreme for some with only a small amount of forty voting for the idea out of the two hundred two Republicans. This would not slow him down once again and would only refine and help his plan while working with other younger Republicans like Kevin McCarthy, of California, and Eric Cantor, of Virginia. These three would get the title “Young Guns” and would play an important part in the leadership role in the House. Ryan would give his remade budget plan in 2008 and giving it the name “Roadmap for America’s Future” which would try to reduce the welfare state and curtain the national government by looking out for individuals and Ryan would try to build support for it in and out of congress. Ryan planned to end medicare by replacing it with a system of direct payments to seniors, who would then be able to buy private insurance. He would also go after ending Medicaid and instead use a lump sum for the states to use as they saw fit. He would also go after special tax breaks that was given to employers who provide insurance and would
