Congressman Boustany Applauds Paul Ryan Choice
7th District Congressman Charles Boustany joined 'Mornings With Ken and Bernie' in studio and praised Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as his pick for vice-president.
We asked his assessment of Ryan and Congressman Boustany replied,
"I think he's a fabulous pick. He brings a lot of energy to the presidential campaign. He is a pro-growth Republican meaning he wants to look at any policy that grow the US economy, allowing the private sector to create jobs. He knows we cannot solve our budget deficit problems unless we couple that with significant economic growth."
Congressman Boustany went on to detail the investigation into the IRS paying $4.2 billion in false child credits. It was discovered that more than 15,000 claims had been paid to one address in Phoenix, Arizona alone.
