WASHINGTON - When Congressman Paul Ryan has been asked the past few years about the value of stimulus to the sagging economy and the nation's jobless, the Wisconsin Republican has dismissed it as meaningless, and dubbed it "sugar-high economics."But that's when President Obama is pushing for the spending. When it was President George W. Bush arguing for more stimulus to boost a slow economy in the early 2000s, Ryan's economic analysis was entirely different."What we're trying to accomplish today with the passage of this third stimulus package is to create jobs and help the unemployed," Ryan said, in comments unearthed by MSNBC's "Up with Chris Hayes" and provided to HuffPost. "What we're trying to accomplish is to pass the kinds of legislation that when they've passed in the past have grown the economy and gotten people back to work."
if these flim flam artist are elected the America will become the laughing stock of the world, they can hang up their guns no more new sheriff, no more leader of the world, no more most powerful mantle the right wing loves so well. then what happens the right wants that faux facade back so they push to further enhance the MIC more pentagon spending that they've said they don't want or need. then they set in motion the return of Bush Cheyney and attempt to create fear in other countries of the big bad US. "God Complex"?
"In recessions unemployment lags on well after a recovery has taken place," Ryan accurately noted in 2002.
Conservatives have routinely mocked Vice President Joe Biden for arguing that in order to reduce the deficit in the long run, the government needs to spend more now; that sentiment is lampooned in a recent pro-Republican campaign ad. But Biden's analysis -- that the government needs to juice the economy to promote growth, or else revenue will fall long term -- is one that Ryan himself articulated cogently back when the GOP was urging stimulus. Ryan called such stimulus a "constructive answer" worked out on "a bipartisan basis." Opponents of stimulus, Ryan said, ought to "drop the demagoguery."
looks as though once again the right failed to have thoroughly vetted it's VP, now for the October Surprise, republicans, "SURPRISE". to busy trying to sink this admin to be bothered with fact checking, teeth marks on their collective booty's?
