I really don’t get it. Who cares when it closed or if it “idled.”
Politicians should have no direct power or direct influence whatsoever on the damn business decision as to whether it stays open or not.
They may influence indirectly by economic policies like CAFE and energy policy, but it’s no better for Ryan to waltz in and demand the plant stay open to make things the market doesn’t want.....
Ryan was making the point that the bailout didn’t even work. The point was that Obama tried to convince people to support it by saying it would save jobs, which it didn’t. He also said that the money for the bailout was borrowed, spent and wasted. Maybe real capitalism would have saved those jobs, maybe not, but Obama’s plan was a big fail.
I had on PMSNBC last night just to hear their take on the evening.
The “crew” (Chrissy, Maddow, Sharpton and all) had fact checked Ryan’s statement on the plant closing and SWORE it closed in Dec 2008, and calling Ryan an unabashed “goody-two-shoes” liar to the American people.
It was BUSH’S FAULT because it close in 2008 and NOT Dear Reader’s fault and how dare Ryan lie like that on natioal TV.
They bashed Scott Walker with it while the microphone Ryan used was still warm.
They (PMSNBC)were STILL calling him a liar today less than 2 hours ago.
That info NEEDS to be thrown in their face FAST AND NOW!!!!
They were even saying the same thing this morning on CNN,(between 8-9cst) calling Ryan’s plant closing story “unfactual” because it closed in 2008.
This thread shows Ryan was right.
The dems will have an add on it running nation wide before the day is out.
It needs to be STOPPED.
That really wasn't my point.
My point was how quickly people w/ no credibility whatsoever will labbel someone a "liar".
