Paul Ryan defended his vote for the fiscal cliff deal Thursday by arguing that now that taxes have been worked out the conversation can shift to spending.
“Now we can finally debate spending — clean and simple spending,” Ryan said during an interview with 620 WTMJ’s Charlie Sykes, according to the Daily Caller.
“What I know in my conscience is 98 percent of the families in Wisconsin are not going to get hit with a massive tax increase,” Ryan said.
