Ryan named to fiscal commission
U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Janesville and ranking member of the House Budget Committee, has been named by House Minority Leader John Boehner to President Obama's bipartisan deficit commission.
Ryan joins House GOP colleagues Dave Camp of Michigan and Jeb Hebsarling of Texas on the commission, which was created by executive order last month.
"While I have serious concerns about what this commission can actually achieve, I hope it spurs a genuine effort to tackle the looming crisis of unsustainable entitlement spending -- the greatest threat to our nation's fiscal and economic future," Ryan said in a statement.
