Just passing some info along that I just received from a friend who is very politically connected.
I have not idea if it is true BUT it is good stuff to research.
I will let you know what I find. ..................................................................................................................

Ryan is hooked up to the elitists and I believe he is being groomed by the banker community and the Clintons along with John Corizine, Ryan's old partner from the banking business, a former Chicagoan who spent 40 million to buy the senatorial seat in New Jersey and Rahm Emanual- Clintons former chief of staff from Highland Pk. now holding Blagoevichs seat over in my old 5th ward.

Jon Corzine and Jack Ryan Business partners at Goldman and Sachs

Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs is one of Wall Street’s most prestigious investment banks. Like others in the securities industry, it advises and invests in nearly every industry affected by federal legislation. The firm closely monitors issues including economic policy, trade and nearly all legislation that governs the financial sector. It has been a major proponent of privatizing Social Security as well as legislation that would essentially deregulate the investment banking/securities industry. In August 2002, following months of corporate scandals, congressional investigators launched a probe into whether stock analysts at Goldman Sachs issued biased investment advice in order to protect corporate clients. The firm tends to give most of its money to Democrats—a fact that might not be so surprising, considering its former chief executive is Sen. Jon Corzine (D-N.J.).
