Ryan Sought Lots of Federal 'Pork' for Folks Back Home
I was amazed to find this article on the conservative CNBC web site. After reading this, even I might vote for the guy. EPA cleanup money, Solyndra-style loan guarantees, food stamp promotion money, stimulus money, green technology money, Obamacare money, park money, money money money, it's all there.
The best one, perhaps: "A 2002 Department of Agriculture loan guarantee to develop a pork-packing and processing plant for farms in the region, including some in his district." Fitting.

-Letters offering support or forwarding requests for projects funded by stimulus money. Ryan's May 2009 letter to a regional Environmental Protection Agency office asked for its "full consideration" in awarding grant money to an organization under the National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program, which reduces diesel emissions.
LOL! My kind of guy!
Pass on to your family and friends who think Paul rAyn is a not a big spender. Jeepers, was there ever a bigger hypocrite?
