Your Ryan voted against the bailout. The government set up a frame work for GM to fiscally salvage its company and save alot of jobs for autoworkers. Unfortunately Janesville was not saved ,but without the bailout there would not be a GM today. Again, Ryan voted against the bailout.

There were only 50 or so workers left. There were 2500 in July 0f 08. Production stopped in 08. Ryan voted for the Bush Auto-bailout to try and save the Janesville plant and when he realized it was going to close anyway he voted against it in 09. He doesnt care about GM or the auto workers he just wanted to save face at home.

Look it was a misleading statement and anybody that believes it either is drinking the kool-aid or doesnt care about the truth. GM decided to close the plant and effectively did in 2008. All this does is misrepresent Janesville and the poor people that lost their job. Even though there is no GM plant in Janesville, there would not be a GM plant in America without the Auto bailout. By the whey, Ryan voted against it.

If there were 2800 workers in July of 2008 and 50 or so workers left working at the plant after production stopped in December of 2008 then that is a plant closing. It is wrong to be dishonest about this fact ,and it is disturbing that Ryan can do this to a town he has lived in all his life. Facts do matter and should not be used as opinions. I understand the homer aspect of liking Ryan because he is from Janesville, but it actually makes it worse to lie about this because he is from Janesville.

I was just wondering if people that are actually from Janesville and worked at the GM plant blame the president for the plant closure? When did you lose your job at the plant? It appears from the outside that production at the plant stopped during the Bush administration. Even though Ryan is one of your own do you think it is ok to falsify the facts about the plant closing? Thank you for your responses and I hope you find future employment.

Ryan voted for the Auto-bailout in the Bush administration not the Obama administration. This is the problem with politics. We should be able to recognize facts as a basis for debate not debate the facts. GM decided in 08 to close the plant AFTER Obama visited Janesville....FACT. The Janesville plant went from 2500 workers in July of 08 to 50 in December of 08.....FACT. The Janesville plant stopped production under the Bush Administration in December of 08......FACT. Without the auto bailout there would not be a GM today.....FACT. The 50 or so workers left were there to finish the official shut down of the plant. You cannot have a production line with just 50 workers.....FACT. RYAN LIED FACT
