all right i i didn't see the story until today i think it's a pretty big story
uh... he did an interview with the w_c_p_o_t_v_
in ohio uh... following an associated press story
indicated they had four letters indicating wet that he had specifically
stalks sought stimulus funds
for his district
while at the same time of course
stomping around screaming atop the swamp but the stimulus was uh... quote a
wasteful spending strips for it
well knowing says i never asked for stimulus
ryan statement rectly counters the evidence of four letters
obtained by the liberals sociated press
which the congress and wrote to energy secretary steven chu
praising energy program supported by stimulus requesting funds for
initiatives in his district so it's not only the stimulus but it's a
the stimulus for those uh... wasteful green energy program and not not to
mention also he's gone to the energy department for loans
their campaign
has criticized insulin drug the entire energy department loan program of late
uh... blvd and insight into winter which by the way the of all the loans energy
department made one point three percent of those loans for bad loans
one of what your project ita percent ninety eight points at work a lot yes
successful that money back cylinder was a failure and it was a it wasn't good
and it was uh... there may be other things associate with the point is
advances social programs
but brian then goes further in town at the bailout he said that he thought that
he went to the energy partners energy for money was fine
he won the energy department bill money in the in the house bill and so he's
denying all these things which are factor as onto statement directly
counters the evidence of those four letters zero to steven chu his private
brace for the partnership programs which is in those letters
force uh... in his written request for stimulus funds contradict not always
public criticism of the stimulus bill from online
but also many the budget priorities he's layout in his budget
the ryan budget
uh... including cuts to investment ingredient knology fats was asking for
here also boston globe report two thousand ten after running several
others to federal departments requesting funds for his district
uh... exalt talk show on w_b_z_ nights at tannery
oh and you know that job gavris said this is great he would never vote
against the stimulus quote and then write to the government to ask them to
send a smart
i would never
criticize the stimulus bill vote against it then right to the government
and ask us to send
focuses on the spot
that's exactly what he's done fell off that
so last night or yesterday he has asked by the dcbl in ohio about that that's
put to the first thing you know this wasn't nighttime this is not nights at
within right now that's an awesome compasses out campaigning in ohio as-is
put to you hear the reporters' questions
you had asked for stimulus money for your district is at and i set my address
first things i don't i don't recall i hadn't seen this report so i really
can't comment on it
com by opposes stimulus
because it doesn't work didn't work
so he had seen the report but then of course later that day
he saw the report
which included the letters
that and he has that
changed is that too
uh... here's what he has to say this is a graphic sex this is paul ryan late
very late last night this came out at about midnight last night
actor having these letters poured my attention i checked into them
and they were treated as constituent service requests in the same way
matters involving social security
for veterans affairs
i didn't do it
my constituents for right before it forth as a congressman
like as if he if you don't ask you some people democratic congress people i'm
sure people who supported
and the republicans the support of the stimulus
probably thought that was constituent services to
i'm supporting in economic stimulus
to would help
my constituent every part of the stimulus bill is for your constituency a
that what do they think that what we think the monies for they even somehow
going back to the energy department
the and that that the semantics of well as the energy department for or it make
it different than asking for the stimulus for thailand rather six so out
that in the letters called my attention
the checks in the world
they were treated
the same as constituent services
like social security
saturn's fair so he really is saying yet i'd check it
but really is just my greedy constituents who want but fishes those
bastards with second from me they always want more
part of the stimulus bill they gave money to a state
wasn't a constituent
service
every dollars that goes to the state in some capacity
benefited
someone's constituent headquarters at the amid as bitter them so much that
something dot jobs because of its adelaide high got they get a lot lately
what are you hire a lot of people end up doing stuff
that's the whole point of it
i don't quite see why this is an enormously huge deal with the two-party
this the the darling of the people are to the intellectual voice of the tea
party
which is made up just disease not surveillance
to put together a thought
so here he is taken federal funds asking for the body have d
which by the way
is responsible and planning to do in the same dance on the auto
uh... family
to he's doing the same thing he said why was it really for the auto bailout
uh... i supported a bill in the house that was an alternate billet used energy
department month but he was pretty obvious support of the auto bailout
uh... eight he has even said that he did at the difference between the andromeda
sort of it's such a great great
he supported the autograph
which is great that should help
randy had this visionary uh...
state-run health care system
which should help it
and they both have to pretend like they didn't do it now it's say that's
ridiculous
yeah and hear about what was really really terrible spot
i don't think that the government is the solution to our problems
but we needed to stimulate the economy in this dark terrible were facing
perhaps a depression in this deep recession so yeah and i have course
wanted to make sure that my constituents got part of that so i a lot but for some
of them up
trek i mean i think you are responsible republican exactly five years ago would
have set that said now we've got to get the private sector to do this because we
let the government do it too much
they'll get too big and we've got a really
as i did when i get
wraps and from guatemala may be persuaded by with that target doesn't
personal you can never be persuaded by because i know you've been doing a
reputed buy that argument but but i read the book the big the big point is is the
contradictory
uh... part of it which is the romney says he was a then so be on a bill that
he wrote an op ed against it
he's running with someone who says that he was for it but now saying well i
wasn't exactly for and as you said with romley with health care ryan voted
against it
did it feel inventing a tentative and they're both running from these things
that were released successes of the country than they've been trained as a
weird way the republican is the website is that if there was really a republican
party
where the conservative wing of the republic party were run with by bob dole
and there were guys like health rockefeller or white
yeah until maybe i think power to appoint with a live but sectors that
could be persuaded that i guess it's a boy there was that what once when i was
four
yet but you still fun
bumper-sticker risky so that's the problem of people
