Ryan Wins Business "Razzie"

Tweet

Members of Congress who support the U.S. Chamber Of Commerce position on at least 70 percent of key votes receive the Spirit of Enterprise Award. Last year Rep. Paul Ryan supported business positions 100% of the time.

JG Excerpt:
Ryan, who compiled a 100 percent score last year, joined Reps. Jim Sensenbrenner, Tom Petri and Mark Green as Wisconsin delegation winners. During his tenure in the House, Ryan has compiled a 93.6 cumulative ranking in support of key votes established by the chamber.

What else is new? Simply put, nothing compares to an elected representative of the people winning an award like this for rubberstamping business interests, especially by these margins. Ryan, Petri and Sensenbrenner have been winning this award for five consecutive years now and we can see the fruits of their labor in Wisconsin.

In 2006, the only congressmen who voted 100% of the time for business interests were Republicans. One Democrat, Lane Evans from Illinois is listed at 100% but should be excluded from this "Razzie" award because only one key issue received a positive vote from Evans, while the remaining 14 key issues were not addressed.
