Paul Ryan Didn't Work All That Hard To Help His Own Hometown

By Susie Madrak

As I've pointed out, the coverage of Paul Ryan by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has been whitewashed for national consumption, but bloggers and progressive media in Wisconsin are working hard to fill in the blanks, especially about Ryan's uneasy relationship with his hometown.

Elizabeth DiNovella of The Progressive describes Janesville:

Janesville it used to be an industrial center, a place where workers at the GM factory churned out 1,000 SUVs a day. But that was a long time ago, or so it seems. Back then, Ryan requested government money for projects, such as public transportation and water treatment plants. Back then, during the George W. Bush era, Ryan was “miserable,” he says, as he voted over and over again to support his party’s ever-growing government deficits, wars, and bureaucracies.

Now, though, Janesville is living in misery. It has one of the highest unemployment rates in the state, alongside other cities like Racine and Kenosha in Ryan’s First Congressional District. Foreclosures have tripled since 2000.
