A view of a dormant GM assembly plant for General Motors in Janesville, Wisconsin, March 21, 2012. Republican U.S. Representative Paul Ryan's budget-cutting vision has made him a hero to conservatives across the country, but it is less popular in his hometown of Janesville. As Ryan's proposal to slash taxes and spending started to move through Congress last week, local officials in this humble Rust Belt city scrambled to recover from last year's cutbacks.
