Obama for America New Hampshire spokeswoman Holly Shulman issued the following statement on Ryan's upcoming visit to the state:
“Don’t expect Paul Ryan to name a single policy to strengthen the middle class when he visits New Hampshire this weekend. That’s because Romney-Ryan would cut tax deductions the middle class relies on, like those for mortgage interest, children, and charitable contributions, in order to pay for $250,000 tax cuts for multi-millionaires. They would turn Medicare into a voucher program, increasing costs for seniors by as much as $6,400 a year. And they'd slash investments in education and clean energy that would create jobs and grow our economy. With 40 days left, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan haven't yet leveled with Granite Staters about what they'd do if elected. We don’t expect them to start anytime soon.”
