U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Janesville) joined Senators Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the U.S. Capitol this morning to introduce the Congressional Accountability and Line-item Veto Act.'
Feingold said, "Now, (Paul Ryan and I are) both from Janesville, Wis. Our fathers worked in the same building, and we're friends. So, John], the only thing we ask is that this be known as the 'Janesville Line Item Veto' if it becomes the law of the land."
McCain responded, "Sen. Feingold and Congressman Ryan … represent what Wisconsin has represented for a long time to America, and that's good, transparent, honest government. And so it's a pleasure for me to be with the twins who were separated at birth in Janesville, Wis."
Ryan said, "Our goal is to embarrass the pork out of Washington. And by giving the president and the Congress this tool, we can help bring sunshine to this murky process and embarrass pork-barrel spending out of these packages."
