After lying about the stimulus for the last 3 years and causing millions of Americans to suffer needlessly by refusing to help the American people in any way, how nice that the republican party has Paul Ryan, stimulus lover, on the ticket as VP. Let me tell you a little something about Paul Ryan. He got his sizable wealth the old fashioned way - he inherited it. No wonder he wants to cut taxes for himself and other wealthy people while sticking it to the average American, who like Romney, he can't relate to. Paul Ryan is also an absolute hypocrite and liar. Here's Ryan in 2002 advocating forcefully and completely for government stimulus spending, including unemployment benefits, to create jobs, help the economy, and reduce the deficit. I guess that only works when a republican is in the White House. (try to ignore the Mitt ad at the beginning, I couldn't get rid of it. Mitt has way more money than integrity or sense. He's the nothing man.)
Some basic economics - Any spending is someone else's income. We need to keep the money flowing. So wake up if you think Paul Ryan (or Mitt ) has any integrity or gives a damn about you.
Good piece of lie-busting. I agree, need to keep the money flowing, but not according to this re-fried version of trickle-down eco. theory. They tried this mess under Reagan, and again under Bush Jr. These are the only 2-term republican presidencies in our lifetimes. These are also the 2 biggest recessions in our lifetimes, with the 2 largest unemployment results, and the 2 largest GDP contractions. These are also the periods of largest increases in our gross debt/GDP. And they're still trying to sell this shtuff!
