Meanwhile the CNN Fact Checkers are facilitating the Ryan lie by marking it as true. Contrast the 57 workers laid off in 3/09 with the hundreds of thousands laid off from GM between 2006-2009 - the fact is that the GOP leadership was asleep at the switch or just chortling about Unions losing jobs, one or the other. The 57 workers fate was sealed and announced in 2008 per the very article the “fact” checkers are citing. Other articles show the massive job losses before that, and the fact that Obama had fired the GM CEO who decided to close that plant in March.
