First, let me destroy this ridiculous notion that he’s a “fiscally responsible hero.” Paul Ryan: ◾Voted for both the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ◾Voted, and publicly lobbied, for stimulus bills while George W. Bush was in office ◾Also voted for the $152 billion 2008 stimulus package passed under Bush ◾While publicly condemning the 2009 stimulus passed under President Obama (which he voted against) he then privately sought funds from that very same stimulus for his district ◾Voted for the Medicare Part D plan passed under Bush, which will end up costing tax payers trillions ◾Voted for the Bush Tax Cuts, while voting for both wars ◾Voted for the $700 billion TARP (Wall Street) bailout ◾He voted for the auto bailout as well None of these even touch the roughly $1.8 trillion in defense spending he’s supported during his time in Congress. This man is the definition of a hypocrite. A man who went to public school as a minor, used Social Security money to pay for his college degree where he went to a publicly funded university, has made a career as a government employee and voted for bills that have added trillions to our national debt—championing himself as a “small government fiscally responsible hero.” All while pushing for a budget which would cut taxes even more, calls for $554 billion more in defense spending, guts many programs which help the poor and would turn Medicare into a voucher system (that would essentially destroy Medicare completely).
