The Paul Ryan Compromise
Slate.com ^ | 12/16/2015 | Jim Newell

Posted on 12/16/2015 7:53:04 PM PST by Wisconsinlady

When Paul Ryan was handed the speaker’s gavel in late October, he pledged to restore normal order to the People’s House and eliminate the sort of backroom deals that rank-and-file members complain are shoved down their throats at the 11th hour. So, late Tuesday night, Ryan unveiled a few thousand pages of consequential tax, spending, and regulatory legislation costing roughly $2 trillion and gave Congress and the public two whole days to review everything.

There’s no compromise here. This is a complete treasonous surrender. ‘Stupid’ doesn’t even explain this. If they had simply frozen spending where it was, they would have come out miles better than this.

Paul Ryan is enough to make one question the intelligence of certain persons in the ultra-liberal state of WI.

It is a victory for veterans in this budget vs Ryan’s 2013 .budget. In that one, all veterans had a pension cut, including combat veterans, including extremely disabled missing limbs. This is no exaggeration. So where is the Trust now? Someone tell me.

I didn't know "capitulation" was spelled that way. You learn something new every day.

Look at Ryan’s face and his eyes, he looks beat down, like he sold his soul and there is nothing he can do about it. I do not say that with pity or sympathy. He deserves a tortured existence.

With his new beard I was wondering if he is auditioning to be a camel riding muzzie. Put one of those white skirts those guys wear with a towel wrapped around his head and he would fit right in.

If you cannot figure it out yet, I think the new growth beard is very, very unprofessional.

Outrageous. Melt Ryan's phone line with your calls.

Capitol Switchboard -- (888) 995-2086

Please dial the toll-free number listed above that will connect you with the Capitol switchboard. When the operator answers, ask to be connected to Rep. Paul Ryan's office. When the staffer answers, identify yourself as a constituent and tell them that you want the provision that quadruples the number of H-2B visas removed from the omnibus spending bill. Zip codes to use are 53545, 53402 and 53202. You can add that 15 million Americans who want a full-time job can't find one, and the workforce participation rate is at its lowest rate in decades. Now is not the time to be bringing in more low-skilled foreign workers.

FReep mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
