Big talker Ryan has been a non-achiever in 12 years in the House

Mon, 07/25/2011 - 10:31am |

Paul Ryan, the new right-wing fiscal hero, is a smooth talker who's been a total failure as a doer in Congress.

Elected in 1998, here's what he has to show for his first six terms -- 12 years! -- in Congress. Two bills he authored have become law. Count 'em, two.

One named the post office in Janesville after the late congressman Les Aspin, the Democrat who represented Ryan's district and went on to serve as Secretary of Defense.

Much more here...................

1. I'm surprised to see he has been there six terms already
I thought he was elected in 2008! Just trying to accomplish something now. WI needs to get busy and get him out of there.

4. Ryan is exactly the kind of govt grifter popularized by RW propaganda.
Someone that's never had a real job and has been living off the govt teat his whole life. But he's white, so it's OK.
