Since the members of Ryan's district will suffer just as much as those in districts who got the stimulus money when the bill comes due it is his obligation to try to reduce the amount of screwing his district receives. Simple concept.

Let us suppose I oppose SS because I think I could do better investing on my own. I will still take SS to reduce the amount I was screwed by the SS withholdings. Simple concept. Even the double-digiters should be able to understand it.

Armed Robber: Give me your car keys and all your money!

Taxpayer: Here ya go.

Armed Robber: Ya got got cab fare?

Taxpayer: No

Armed Robber: Here have $10.

Taxpayer: If I took that it would mean I support armed robbery.

Creating or saving a couple million jobs was a small step in the right direction when you consider that during the last 5 months of the Gomer administration we were losing 750,000 jobs a month. One third of the stimulus was squandered in tax cuts to appease the selfish members of our society if you recall.

That is asking me to theorize on a hypothetical.

I don't waste time on hypotheticals.

The FACT is that IT DIDN'T WORK

FACT: Obama is still a net jobs killer | WashingtonExaminer.com




Americans Employed, January 2009: 142,187,000
Americans Employed, today: 142,101,000


Jobs in U.S. Economy, January 2009: 133,561,000
Jobs in U.S. Economy, today: 133,300,000


The US gained LESS jobs in September than it did in August.
The US gained LESS jobs in August than it did in July.
That is a NEGATIVE trend.

He says it didn't work now, but it worked then, so he was for it before he was against it.

Confused? That's the whole idea.

It is like his marathon time. He lied. He either lied when he said it would create jobs in his state or he lied when he said that the stimulus did not create any jobs. One thing we can be sure of is that he lied. We know this because his mouth was moving.

He didn't have to ask. He even says that he would deny any stimulus requests that crossed his desk today. Even though he didn't deny those requests yesterday.

Don't dodge the question. Why did Ryan say that the stimulus would create jobs in Wisconsin???
