Paul Ryan tells Detroit things would be better under the 'Let Detroit go bankrupt' guy
Source: Daily Kos
Paul Ryan, at a Michigan campaign event: "We lost four auto factories in the area I represent in just the last four years," Ryan said. "We lost our plant, our GM plant in Janesville, our Chrysler Kenosha plant, we lost two Delphi plants in Oak Creek. Trust me, I come from Detroit West. We know we need a healthy auto sector. I come from a GM town, and as we said in Janesville, we've always said—as GM goes, so goes Janesville."
"Well, we've all gotten knocked down. We've seen some carnage in the auto sector. Know this: we want the strongest auto sector…We lost 38,000 manufacturing jobs just in the last two months. Over 10,000 of them came from auto. The good news is if you put the right people in place and get the right policies in place, we can turn this around." I'm sorry. Paul Ryan is playing second fiddle to whom? Mitt Romney. And Mitt Romney's plan for Detroit was what? To let it go bankrupt. To skip the step where the government helped GM and Chrysler survive long enough to restructure and just let them die right then and there in late 2008 and early 2009. Luckily for workers all up and down the auto supply chain, and for small business owners in auto towns, that didn't happen. Mitt Romney wasn't president, Barack Obama was president, and Obama made sure the American auto industry survived.

1. Classic example of Ryan using euphemisms for draconian approaches...
|
The right people are low wage workers without benefits, ...the right policies are anti-union policies.

4. Paul Ryan did nothing for the Kenosha plant or any of the others.
|
As far as they were concerned these were heavy UNION jobs so he didn't care a bit if they left. Every time American Motors (Chrysler) was in trouble - while Ryan was representative for our area, he did nothing.

5. He also managed to ruin my commute home
|
I couldn't figure out why we were sitting through 3 green lights...accident? What? And I was in a place where it wouldn't do me a whole lot of good to turn back, so I was pretty much stuck until whatever it was got cleaned up.
Then, when I saw the huge line of police motorcycles coming up, I realized it: that fucking Paul Ryan, that lying asshole, is the reason why this traffic isn't moving. Oh joy. I looked for a proper vehicle to give the middle finger to, but as one might expect, it wasn't easy to discern which car had Lyin' Ryan in it. Grrrrrrr...... |
