This is News?

Today's breathless article in the MSM tells us that Paul Ryan said that the Obama stimulus was wasteful and then tried to steer some of the stimulus funds to his district and his state. Somehow, this is supposed to be scandalous. Instead, it is ridiculous. Ryan took his position on the stimulus together with nearly every other Republican. Because the Democrats were in total control of Congress, the stimulus passed and three quareters of a trillion dollars were thrown into the mix by the Obamacrats. While most of the funds were directed by the Obamacrats to their special interest groups, there were other funds available for projects around the country. Why wouldn't any congressman try to get those funds to his district? Of course the would. There is nothing inconsistent there.

The big point, however, is not that Ryan did or did not get funds for his district. The point is that the stimulus did not work. The GOP was correct. Obama wasted nearly a trillion dollars. What a disaster.
