Grimm: Ryan would make excellent veep
Brooklyn’s lone Republican congressman, Michael Grimm, says that Mitt Romney made the right choice in picking Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate.
“In the time I’ve come to know Paul Ryan, I’ve learned he is a man of principles and traditional values, and that he truly has a sincere desire to put his country before politics,” Grimm said. “I believe he will be an excellent vice president, combining his knowledge on the economy with a strong work ethic to help put our country back on track and get Americans back to work.”
Grimm, a Republican conservative, voted in favor of the budget plan that Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, introduced. It includes a plan to totally revamp Medicare to turn the entitlement program into a voucher system. The House approved the budget in May. The budget bill died in the U.S. Senate.
