One Wisconsin Now Statements Regarding Paul Ryan’s Response to President Obama
Ryan’s Selective Memory, Willingness to Repeated Failed Conservative Policies Troubling

Madison – One Wisconsin Now released the following statements in advance of tonight’s Presidential State of the Union address and the planned response from U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

“I hope that Paul Ryan explains to us why we should trust him and his conservative allies with our finances after they nearly bankrupted the nation with reckless tax cuts for the rich and deregulation schemes to reward companies which put America’s working families last. Paul Ryan himself voted for eight straight Republican budgets that increased spending by a staggering 50 percent. Let’s not forget the so-called fiscal conservatives, like Ryan, who put trillions of dollars in war spending and the unfunded $8 trillion Medicare Part D boondoggle on the checkbooks of our children. Paul Ryan’s ‘Road Map’ would hand our government over to big business and Wall Street speculators, and silence the voices of working families. America needs jobs, not Paul Ryan’s budget-busting, recycled corporate special interest wish list.”

Paul Ryan's eight consecutive budget votes hiking the federal budget by 50 percent:

FY 2000, H CON RES 68, 3/25/99,

FY 2001, H CON RES 290, 3/24/00,

FY 2002, H CON RES 83, 3/28/01,

FY 2003, H CON RES 353, 3/20/02,

FY 2004, H CON RES 95, 3/21/03,

FY 2005, H CON RES 393, 3/25/04,

FY 2006, H CON RES 95, 3/17/05,

FY 2007, H CON RES 376, 5/18/06

1. I hope Rachel picks up on this (if she hasn't already).

4. Sounds like a a budget "Czar" to me.

I thought republicans hated Czars? The gutless Republicans are too afraid to stand up and support, en masse, Ryan's proposals and debate it in Congress. So they'll let him be the lightening rod for the majority of Americans who clearly don't support this legislation.

Yeah, he's a hypocrite, obviously, given the record that he has accummulated. He was wrong on his votes then...so why would I think he's right on the direction that he wants to take this country with his current budget "vision"?

3. He's a new face for the same phony "fiscal conservatism". What he really wants is to finance general

...revenues with the payroll tax, which exempts all income over $106K. So to do that he wants to slash SS so the $2.2 trillion SS Trust Fund surplus will achieve "sustainable solvency", that is continue to accumulate an ever-increasing balance on permanent loan to the Treasury, allowing the deficits resulting from the tax cuts to the uber-rich.

And he has the gall to imply that SS, which we have paid for, is part of the "Safety Net".
