Vice-President Joe Biden made his first trip to Wisconsin Sunday since Janesville Congressman Paul Ryan was named to the GOP presidential ticket. Biden continued his attacks on his vice-presidential rival.
Vice-President Biden spoke at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, and suggested that the Romney-Ryan ticket went off track from the facts during last week’s Republican National Convention. The Vice-President says Representative Ryan was wrong to criticize the lack of progress on recommendations from a bi-partisan debt commission.
Biden also attacked Ryan’s plans for changing Medicaid, Medicare and to provide a tax cut for the wealthy.And Biden took on Ryan and Mitt Romney for raising concerns about getting U.S. troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
