Paul Ryan Tells Iowans to Be More Skeptical of Big Government Cures

Particularly when politicians come looking for votes

Former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan doubts Iowans would have rehired Democrat Barack Obama if they'd known last year that Obamacare wouldn't turn out to be all it was cracked up to be.

Mixing regret and some I-told-you-so attitude, Ryan said he and GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney "didn't quite deliver" during their bid for the White House last year.

But "the next time you have a famous politician coming through Iowa, breezing through the towns, talking about big government, let's be a little more skeptical," he said.
