about accepting stimulus money. this is more than hypocrisy. it s about whether paul ryan has trouble telling the truth. remember earlier this week we told you about this boston globe report? it showed that in 2009 at the same time he was bashing president obama s stimulus program, he was writing letters to the energy department asking for stimulus money for his own district. look at this one from december 2009. it begins dear secretary chu, i m writing to express my support for the wisconsin energy conservation corporation s grant application. it ends, thank you for your consideration of my request. and look. there s ryan s own personal signature. looks like he really wants that money. and he got it. he got it. nearly 21 million stimulus dollars went to ryan s state.
