Ryan denied lobbying for stimulus funds after lobbying for stimulus funds

by Joan McCarter



Earlier this week the Boston Globe detailed Paul Ryan's efforts to get funding for his district from President Obama's stimulus program. He voted against the stimulus, and called it a "wasteful spending spree," but ended up getting millions for Wisconsin organizations and businesses after sending multiple letters to the administration appealing for the money.

But it gets so much better. Just months after he sent all those letters and secured that funding, Ryan said it never happened.

On October 28, 2010, after the Wisconsin Republican penned at least five letters to two federal departments seeking grants under the Obama administration’s economic recovery package, Ryan responded to a caller on WBZ’s Nightside with Dan Rea who asked if he sought any of the money. Ryan said that he would not vote against something “then write to the government to ask them to send us money.” <...>

“I assume you voted against the stimulus,” caller began. “I’m just curious if you accepted any money in your district.”

“No, I'm not gonna vote (against) something then write letters to the government to send us money,” Ryan responded. “I did not request any stimulus money.”

It was destiny. Mitt Romney has found the perfect match for his Etch A Sketch campaign.
