Ryan clearly believes in a work-life balance. He clearly gives perks along these lines to his staff. Unless he's completely uninterested in the welfare (along these lines) of the general public (which seems unlikely, given his actions), why hew to such a consistent line against such legislation? Hypocrisy? Legislative Purity? Naivete?

But then choose to believe this:

Yes molson, because Ryan has consistently voted against family leave policies I feel he should lead by example and never take a day off of work except for the average number of PTO days Americans have, which happens to be 7.6/year: Table 5. Average paid holidays and days of vacation and sick leave for full-time employees
