We all know the presently-parsimonious Paul Ryan spent the lights out for eight years while Tom DeLay and Company ruled the House of Representatives. Folks, let's consider the spending packed into the Young Gun's holster:
* Ryan voted for eight straight GOP budgets which hiked spending by $1 trillion - all told, Ryan voted for $20 trillion in budget spending alone.
* Ryan helped finance two wars off of the budget books
* Ryan voted for the Medicare Part D plan, which former GAO head David Walker called an $8 trillion unfunded mandate.
Indeed, Paul Ryan, your hypocrisy is an unseemly trait.
Ryan at his core, as can be told from his voting record during the Bush years, is a statist, big government man.
Four years after President Obama first took office and half of voters are still blaming the poor economy on President Bush according to POLITICO:
Early exit polls released on Tuesday evening show that about half of voters still blame President George W. Bush more than President Barack Obama for the country’s economic problems and most cite the economy as their top issue in the election.
The exit poll results released by The Associated Press fit with the argument Obama’s team has been making in the lead-up to the election.
Apparently Obama...
Congressman Ryan's actual record leaves much to be desired.
The issue Ryan is most known for is his interest in cutting the deficit and balancing the budget. Ryan is a STATIST who goes with the Republican flow. But why did the Congressman vote to bail out the auto industry, to pass the Medicare package to the tune of $400 billion, and to nationalize education via No Child Left Behind?
