More From Paul Ryan

Hope And Change? We're Not Doing That Anymore. They're Doing Attack And Blame. And So, I Just Think People Are Going To See Through This. They Want Real Leadership. They Want Us To Get This Country On The Right Track.

This Is A Time To Unify, This Is A Time To Heal.

The Perfection Of Our Union, Especially Our Commitment To Equality Of Opportunity, Has Been A Story Of Constant Striving To Live Up To Our Founding Principles. This Is What Abraham Lincoln Meant When He Said, 'in Giving Freedom To The Slave, We Assure Freedom To The Free - Honorable Alike In What We Give, And What We Preserve.'

Exploiting People's Emotions Of Fear, Envy And Anxiety Is Not Hope, It's Not Change, It's Partisanship. We Don't Need Partisanship. We Don't Need Demagoguery, We Need Solutions.

What Matters To Me Is That I Do What I Think Is Right And I See, I'm A Numbers Guy, That's My Attitude. I Know We Have A Debt Tsunami Coming, We Are Bankrupting This Country And I'm In A Position Where I Can Actually Advance Ideas To Prevent That From Happening. That's Exactly What I Should Be Doing.

Donald Trump Will Lead A Unified Republican Government. And We Will Work Hand-in- Hand On A Positive Agenda To Tackle America's Big Challenges.

The President Didn't Offer Any Clarity In His Latest Speech About What He Would Do To Tackle Our Nation's Debt Before It Tackles Us And It's Still Not Clear How He'll Keep Medicare From Going Bankrupt. One Thing Is Clear Though, Barack Obama Isn't Interested In Governing Or Putting Forward Solutions To Fix Our Nation's Problems.

It's No Coincidence That Trust In Government Is At An All-time Low Now That The Size Of Government Is At An All-time High.

If You Don't Want To Use Your Tax Credit To Go By Health Insurance, You Don't Have To. If You Don't Want To Buy This Plan, You Want To Buy That Plan, Go For It, It's Your Choice. It's Called Freedom. It's Called Free Market Health Care.

Our Debt Is Out Of Control. What Was A Fiscal Challenge Is Now A Fiscal Crisis. We Cannot Deny It; Instead We Must, As Americans, Confront It Responsibly. And That Is Exactly What Republicans Pledge To Do.

We`re Talking About Bilateral Agreements With Other Countries In Asia, So That We Can Expand Our Influence And Get Countries To Play By Our Set Of Rules. That`s To Me Is Something That`s Really Important.

We Believe, As Our Founders Did, That 'the Pursuit Of Happiness' Depends Upon Individual Liberty; And Individual Liberty Requires Limited Government.

Pursuit Of Happiness

President Obama Was Asked Not Long Ago To Reflect On Any Mistakes He Might Have Made. He Said, Well, 'i Haven't Communicated Enough.' He Said His Job Is To 'tell A Story To The American People' - As If That's The Whole Problem Here? He Needs To Talk More, And We Need To Be Better Listeners?

There Is No Doubt Our Democracy Can Be Very Messy And America Does Remain A Sharply Divided Country.

Every Conversation I Have Almost Always Revolves Around, You Know, Personnel And Policy Focused On Producing Results.

But Just Because We Can't Fix Obamacare Doesn't Mean We Can't Start To Get Rid Of Its Worst Features. On Thursday, The House Will Take Up A Bill To Define 'full Time' As 40 Hours Per Week, So More People Can Work Full Time.

The Moral Case For Individual Initiative In A Free Economy Holds That People Have A God-given Right To Use Their Creativity To Produce Things That Improve Our Lives.

I Think Preexisting Conditions Is A Very Important Feature Of Any Healthcare System.

The Priority Of The Trump Administration Is To Secure The Border And Deport Criminal Aliens; People Who Are Not Just Here Illegally But Who Are Violent Criminals. That's The Goal.

We See President [donald] Trump Actually Reclaiming The Proper Role Of The Executive, And Undoing A Lot Of Damage That Was Done To The Economy Through Excessive Executive Action By President [barack] Obama.

Take A Moment To Imagine A World Led By China Or Russia. So We Must Lead.

There Is Relief Coming. This Is Good For America. This Means That We Can Lift The Oppressive Weight Of The Regulatory State. We Can Restore The Constitution.

That's What's Going To Matter At The End Of The Day. Did We Improve People's Lives? Did We Solve The Problems That The American People Need Solved? Are We Addressing The Concerns Of People Who Are Tired Of Being Tired?

The End Of The Day

Our Tax Plan By The Way Shows The Vast, Vast Majority Of Americans, Upwards Of 96 Percent Can Fill Out Their Taxes On A Postcard.

We Will Not Try To Replace Our Founding Principles, We Will Reapply Our Founding Principles.

Ayn Rand More Than Anyone Else Did A Fantastic Job Of Explaining The Morality Of Capitalism, The Morality Of Individualism.

A Romney-ryan Administration Will Protect And Strengthen Medicare, For My Mom's Generation, For My Generation, And For My Kids And Yours.

By Getting Rid Of Loopholes, You Are Making The System More Fair So People Who Make The Same Kind Of Money Pay The Same Taxes.

My Dad Died When I Was Young. He Was A Good And Decent Man. There Are A Few Things He Would Say That Have Just Always Stuck With Me. He'd Say, "son, You're Either Part Of The Problem Or Part Of The Solution." Well, Regrettably, President Obama Has Become Part Of The Problem, And Mitt Romney Is The Solution.

Our Point Is We Don`t Want To Sit In The Government And Tell You What You Have To Buy [as A Health Insurance]. We Want To Make This Work So That You Have Choices, So That We Have More Competition.

What Did The Taxpayers Get Out Of The Obama Stimulus? More Debt. That Money Wasn't Just Spent And Wasted – It Was Borrowed, Spent, And Wasted.

We All Need To Rededicate Ourselves To Making America Great And Making It A More Perfect Union.

My State, Scott Walker, Our Governors, Reformed Medicaid So It Actually Works, So That The Doctors Will Take The Program.

Faster Economic Growth Helps Raise The Economy Which Raises Revenues. And That Helps Us Tackle The Deficit. There's Two Things We've Got To Do To Get Rid Of This Debt. Deal With Entitlements, That's Why We're Frustrated Health Care Reform Hasn't Passed The Senate Yet.

We Have A Real Economic Growth Problem In America. We Are Limping Along. Wages Are Flat. And Jobs Aren’t Being Created Near To The Extent That They Could And Should Be. So We Think Regulatory Relief Is Very, Very Important.

If You’re Going To Criticize, You Should Propose.

We Don't Have A Tax Revenue Problem In Washington, We Have A Spending Problem In Washington.

To My Great Disappointment, It Appears That The Politics Of Division Are Making A Big Comeback. Many Americans Share My Disappointment - Especially Those Who Were Filled With Great Hope A Few Years Ago, When Then-senator Obama Announced His Candidacy In Springfield, Illinois.

We Are Looking For Bipartisan Solutions Not Partisan Rhetoric.

Americans Are Better Off In A Dynamic, Free-enterprise-based Economy That Fosters Economic Growth, Opportunity And Upward Mobility Instead Of A Stagnant, Government-directed Economy That Stifles Job Creation And Fosters Government Dependency.

If We Didn't Propose These Reforms, We Would Not Have Proposed A Budget That Got The Debt Under Control.

That's What The Romney Plan Is All About, How To Get Jobs Created, How To Get This Debt And Deficit Under Control, How To Revive Small Businesses So We Can Create Jobs, And How To Bring Growth And Opportunity To Society Instead Of This Class Warfare, Instead Of Speaking To People Like They're Stuck In Some Class Or Station In Life.

A Lot Of People Don't Believe In The American Idea Anymore.

Our Founders Got It Right When They Wrote In The Declaration Of Independence That Our Rights Come From Nature And Nature's God, Not From Government.

Having What I Call Crony Capitalism, Where You Take Money From Successful Small Businesses, Spend It In Washington On Favored Industries, On Favored Individuals, Picking Winners And Losers In The Economy, That's Not Pro-growth Economics. That's Not Entrepreneurial Economics. That's Not Helping Small Businesses. That's Cronyism, That's Corporate Welfare.

We're Just Not Ready For The Retirement Of The Baby Boomers. And We'd Better Prepare For That.

And To This Day, My Mom Is My Role Model.

Donald Trump Is Going To Be An Unconventional President. I Really Think We Have A Great Opportunity In Front Of Us To Fix Problems, Produce Results, And Improve People's Lives.

You Know, You Work Hard But Play By The Rules, You Can Rise. You Can Do Well. That's What We're Taught. That's What We Believe. That's What We Think Of As America. Problem Is, There Are Just Generations Of People In This Country Who Do Not Think That.

Only By Taking Responsibility For Oneself, To The Greatest Extent Possible, Can One Ever Be Free, And Only A Free Person Can Make Responsible Choices - Between Right And Wrong, Saving And Spending, Giving Or Taking.

We Want To Have Trade Agreements That Give Us A Level Playing Field, Get Other Countries To Respect The Rule Of Law, Intellectual Property Rights, Lower Their Taxes To Our Barriers, That`s Good For Us, And That Is Something That I Do Believe That President [donald] Trump Agrees With.

People Like Me Who Are Reform-minded Ignore The People Who Say, 'just Criticize And Don't Do Anything And Let's Win By Default.' That's Ridiculous.

Activist Government Overreach And Ongoing Economic Stagnation Have Shown Us Why Washington Should Not Try To Displace What Is Best Left To Civil Society.

The Secret To Understanding Me Is, I'm Not Trying To Be Anybody Other Than Who I Actually Am. People Want Candid, Refreshing Leadership. And I've Always Tried To Go With Solutions. You Know, I've Always Tried To Say, Here's How We Get Our Economy Growing, Here's Why We Get Our Debt Under Control. That's What Mitt Romney Is Offering.

I Think The Democrats Are Trying To Say Is Like In February [2017] It Goes Away And You Won`t Have Your Health Care Plan Tomorrow. That`s Not What We`re Talking About.

With All Their Attack Ads, The President Is Just Throwing Away Money...and He's Pretty Experienced At That.

Each Budgets Reflect Our Priorities, Reflect Our Principles, Reflect Our Vision. We Believe In Balancing The Budget. We Believe In Getting Government To Live Within Its Means. We Believe In Pro-growth Economic Policies, Energy Exploration, Fixing Our Entitlements Before They Go Bankrupt.

There Are A Lot Of Regulations That Are Really Just Crushing Jobs. Look At The Coal Miners In The Rust Belt That Are Getting Out Of Work. Look At The - Look At The Loggers And The Timber Workers And The Paper Mills In The West Coast. Look At The Ranchers Or Farmers In The Midwest With Regulations.

Look, I Am Not Worried About Washington Cutting Too Much Spending Too Fast. I Mean, The Kinds Of Spending Cuts We're Talking About Just Right Now Are $100 Billion Out Of A $3.7 Trillion Budget.

The Greatest Threat To Medicare Is Obamacare, And We're Going To Stop It.

I Think Donald Trump Understands There's A Constitution. And That Those Separate But Equal Branches Of Government Give Us A Limited Government. And He Believes That.

We Need Leadership. We Don't Need A Doubling Down On The Failed Politics Of The Past.

I Really Don't Have Tremendous Political Ambition. I Have Policy Ambition.

I Don`t Think Hillary Clinton Is Going To Support Any Of The Things That You Stand For If You`re A Republican. I`m Going To Go Fight For The Principles And The Solutions That I Believe In And The Candidate That I Think Is So Much More Likely To Put Those Into Law Because I Know Hillary Clinton Won`t Do That. It`s A Binary Choice. It Is Either Donald Trump Or Hillary Clinton. You Don`t Get A Third Option. It`s One Or The Other. And I Know Where I Want To Go.

It's A Fundamental Misunderstanding Of Human Nature And Of The Concepts Of Liberty, Freedom, And Self-determination. It's A Fundamental Misunderstanding Of Economics. He (obama) Believes That The Pie Is Fixed And That He Needs To More Equitably Divide Up The Slices.

More American Companies Are Getting Bought By Foreign Firms Or They`re Becoming Foreign Firms Or They`re Outsourcing. Right Now The Tax Code Says If You Want To Make Something In Another Country And Re-import It Back Into America, Go Ahead And Do That. We Don`t Want To Incentivize That.

Here`s The Problem With The Tax Code. You Send Your Money To Washington And Then A Few Have A Special Carve Out For Your Business, For Your Industry, If You Do Something Washington Approves Of, Then They`ll Let You Keep Some Of Your Money Back.

Look, Only In Washington Is Not Raising Taxes Considered A Tax Cut. Nobody's Getting A Tax Cut Here. We're Not Cutting Taxes. We're Preventing Tax Increases From Occurring.

I Think Conservatives Should Be Confident In Our Beliefs And Go Push Them Everywhere We Can And Go To Non-traditional Communities. It's A No-brainer.

I Never Asked For Stimulus.

Let`s Lower Our Tax Rates On Our Businesses So That We`re On Par With The Rest Of The World So That We Don`t Keep Losing Our Businesses.

When You Take A Look At The Problems Our Country Is Facing, Debt Is No. 1. The Math Is Downright Scary And The Credit Markets Aren't Going To Keep On Giving Us Cheap Rates.

We Don't Want Insurance Companies Becoming Monopolies Looking For Favoritism In A Cronyistic Way At Washington. We Want Health Insurers, Hospitals, Doctors, All Providers Of Health Care Benefits Competing Against Each Other For Our Business As Consumers.

Democracy Is A Series Of Choices.

The Sicker And The Older You Get, The More Support You Ought To Get.

There Is A Reason People In America Are Disappointed And Restless. If Opportunity Seems Like It's Been Slipping Away, That's Because It Has. And Liberal Progressive Ideas Have Done Exactly Nothing To Help.

We Know Better Than To Think That Republicans Can Win Only On The Failures Of Democrats. It Still Comes Down To A Contest Of Ideas, Which Is Really Good News, Ladies And Gentlemen, Because When It's About Ideas, The Advantage Goes To Us. Against Their Dreary Backdrop Of Arrogant Bureaucracies, Pointless Mandates, Reckless Borrowing, Willful Retreat From The World And All That Progressives Have In Store For Us, The Republican Party Stands As A Great Enduring Alternative Party.

You Have To Remember, Eight Out Of 10 Businesses In America, They File Their Business As Individuals, As People.

Seven Hundred And Sixteen Billion Dollars, Funneled Out Of Medicare By President Obama. An Obligation We Have To Our Parents And Grandparents Is Being Sacrificed, All To Pay For A New Entitlement We Didn't Even Ask For. The Greatest Threat To Medicare Is Obamacare, And We're Going To Stop It.

Our Number One Responsibility Is To Protect The Homeland.

Progressives Deliver Everything Except Progress.

Now It's A War On Women; Tomorrow It's Going To Be A War On Left-handed Irishmen Or Something Like That.

The Condition Of Your Birth Doesn't Determine The Outcome Of Your Life. This Is America.

Donald Trump Is Just A Get-things-done Kinda Guy.

And If Small Businesspeople Say They Made It On Their Own, All They Are Saying Is That Nobody Else Worked Seven Days A Week In Their Place. Nobody Showed Up In Their Place To Open The Door At Five In The Morning. Nobody Did Their Thinking, And Worrying, And Sweating For Them.

When It Comes To Jobs, President Obama Makes The Jimmy Carter Years Look Like Good Old Days. If We Fired Jimmy Carter Then, Why Would We Rehire Barack Obama Now?

Chelsea Manning's Treachery Put American Lives At Risk And Exposed Some Of Our Nation's Most Sensitive Secrets. President Obama Now Leaves In Place A Dangerous Precedent That Those Who Compromise Our National Security Won't Be Held Accountable For Their Crimes.

Donald Trump Heard A Voice Out In America That No One Else Heard.

To Borrow A Phrase From My Friend Erskine Bowles On The Fiscal Commission, We Are The Healthiest Looking Horse In The Glue Factory. That Means America Is Still A Step Ahead Of The European Nations Who Are Confronting A Debt Crisis, Of Japan That's In Its Second Lost Decade.

Everyone Who Feels Stuck In The Obama Economy Is Right To Focus On The Here And Now. And I Hope You Understand This Too, If You're Feeling Left Out Or Passed By: You Have Not Failed, Your Leaders Have Failed You.

I Do Have A Concern That If We Just Say No Trans-pacific Partnership, We`re Done, We`re Ignoring The Region, And Then, Yes, I Think We`re Creating A Void For China, But That Is Not What The President [donald Trump] Is Saying.

President Obama's Reckless Defense Cuts That Are Hanging Over Our Cloud, Hanging Over The Horizon Could Put Almost 44,000 Jobs At Stake Right Here In Pennsylvania. We Are Not Going To Let That Happen. You Know Why? Because No. 1, National Defense Is The First Priority Of The Federal Government.

There Is A Consensus Of Willing Leaders From Both Parties Coalescing Around The Right Way Forward In Health Care. Reform Should Address Government-imposed Inequities And Barriers To True Choice And Competition.

We Will Work In Conjunction With The Administration, Passing Legislation, Repealing And Replacing Obamacare. When That Actually Takes Place, Will Take Some Time, And The Administration Will Help Determine How We Phase One Out And Replace And Phase In Its Replacement. The Reason We`re Acting Now Is Because Obamacare Is Collapsing Under Its Own Weight.

There's No "agreement." The President Donald Trump And The Chief Of Staff Called Me From Air Force One Today To Discuss What Was Discussed - And It Was A Discussion, Not An Agreement Or Negotiation. We Need Border Security And Enforcement As Part Of Any Agreement. I Think That's Something The Democrats Are Beginning To Understand.

Are We Interested In Treating The Symptoms Of Poverty And Economic Stagnation Through Income Redistribution And Class Warfare, Or Do We Want To Go At The Root Causes Of Poverty And Economic Stagnation By Promoting Pro-growth Policies That Promote Prosperity?

There's No Reason That Patients Can't Have Electronic Access To Their Complete Medical History... Just As People Can Check Their Bank Account Information Online Or Using Their Atm Card, Patients Who Want To Should Have Electronic Access To Their Medical Records.

I See Myself As More Of A Policy Maker Than A Political Leader.

Pacs Corrupt The System. They Handle Vast Amounts Of Money And The Money Corrupts.

Throughout Human History, The American Idea Has Done More To Help The Poor Than Any Other Economic System Ever Designed.

Here's The Problem If You Keep Raising Tax Rates: You Slow Down Economic Growth.

We Must Be Clear. White Supremacy Is Repulsive. This Bigotry Is Counter To All America Stands For. There Can Be No Moral Ambiguity.

White Supremacy

When We`re Done Simplifying The Tax Code, Getting The Lobbyist Carve Outs Our Of The Tax Code, Lowering Our Rates And Letting People Have A Simple System, Most Americans Will Be Able To Fill Out Their Taxes On A Postcard.

I Don't Want To Get Into The 'who's A Hostage-taker' Discussion Here, But What Is The Estate Tax? It's A Double Tax On Death. Economists Will Tell You That It's Really Not A Tax That Soaks The Rich, But It's A Tax On Capital That Deprives Business Investment And Therefore Job Creation.

Close Loopholes, Close The Special Interest Washington Carve Outs And That Means More Incomes Subject To Taxation So We`re Going To Lower The Rates On Our Businesses And Be Fair.

Obamacare Comes To More Than Two Thousand Pages Of Rules, Mandates, Taxes, Fees, And Fines That Have No Place In A Free Country.

That's The Real Secret To Job Creation - Not Borrowing And Spending More Money In Washington.

Working Together, America's Military, Iraqi Security Forces And The Iraqi People Have Won A Major Battle In The War On Terrorism.

I Believe In The Principles That Built America, I Believe In The Constitution.

We`re Talking Of Passing The Legislation That Repeals And Replaces Obamacare With A Patient-centered System That Brings Down Prices And Expands Choices, So People Have More - Better Access To More Affordable Healthcare Choices And Options, But That Takes Time To Put Into Place.

I'm A Person That Can Get Along With People. I Like People Who Believe Passionately In Things Even If They're Not The Things I Agree With.

Ultimately, The Law Will Collapse Under Its Own Weight. Until Then, We Have To Start Building A Better Health Care System In Its Place. And We Need To Start With A New Principle: Put The Patient In The Driver's Seat. That's How We Can Build A Healthy Economy.

We Have National Security Concerns. There Are Lots Of Concerns Which Must Be Addressed By Actually Securing Our Border. And So, A Physical Security Barrier On The Border Is Something We`ve All - I Voted For It, Like I Said, In 2006 Or 2007.

National Security

I Think Conditions On The Ground Determine What You Need In A Particular Area.

I Do Politics In Order To Do Policy.

Sovereign Countries Have The Right, And I Would Argue The Responsibility Of Securing Their Borders And Controlling Who Comes And Goes In Their Country. All Sovereign Countries Have That Right. We Have Not Exercised That Right.

You Can Go Back And Rescind An Old Regulation Like Obama Era Regulations. That Was Done Once In 20 Years. We've Done 14 Of Them In Law This Year Alone, Because They Can't Filibuster That.

We Have To Bring Relief As Fast As Possible To People Who Are Struggling Under Obamacare.

The Rate Of Return On Social Security For People Nearing Retirement Is About 1.5 Percent. By The Time Young Children Like Mine Are Ready To Retire, That Rate Of Return Will Be A Negative Percentage.

I Think [donald Trump] Is Now Talking About Engaging In Countries On A Bilateral Basis.

Real Social Progress Is Always A Widening Of The Circle Of Concern And Protection. It's Respect And Empathy Overtaking Blindness And Indifference. It's Understanding That By The True Measure, We Are All Neighbors And Countrymen, Call To Each One Of Us To Know What Is Right And Kind And Just And To Go And Do Likewise.

When Government Misleads The Country About A Terrorist Attack, That Erodes Trust.

In Government-directed Economies, The Collective Takes Priority Over The Individual. The Moral Ideal Is Equal Results. That Approach Could Not Be Further Removed From The Real World.

If You Can Clean Up The Cesspool Of The Tax Code And Give Us A Pro-growth Tax Code, That Is How You Grow The Economy. That`s How You Take Power And Money Out Of Washington And Give It Back To The People And We Are So Excited. We Have A President [donald Trump] That Is Here To Work With Us In Doing That.

Obamacare Is Leaving. Millions Of People Have Already Lost The Plan That They Liked.

What We Heard Today Was Not Fiscal Leadership From Our Commander-in-chief, What We Heard Today Was A Political Broadside From Our Campaigner-in-chief.

While I Respect The Professionals At The Fbi, This Announcement Defies Explanation. No One Should Be Above The Law.

Obama Is Trying To Paint Us As A Caricature, As If We're Some Bizarre Individualists Who Are Hardcore Libertarians. It's A False Dichotomy And Intellectually Lazy. Of Course We Believe In Government. We Think Government Should Do What It Does Really Well, But That It Has Limits.

If You're A Person That Has Low Income, You Probably Should Have More Assistance Than A Person With High Income.

I Think What Matters Is That We Have To Show People That We Are An Inclusive Society That-that-that We Want Everyone To Succeed. And I Think There's More That All Of Us As Leaders Have Got To Do To Be Inclusive With People And Make People Feel Like They're Included In Society.

Obamacare Is A Massive Budget Buster, That It Is Creating Massive Deficits In The Future. And I Really Believe It's Going To Destroy The Health Care Plan, The Health Care System In America.

We`re The Generous Country, We`re The Ones That Open Our Doors To Other Countries, And In Many Cases We Get Taken Advantage Of Because Of That.

We Will Not Spend Four Years Blaming Others, We Will Take Responsibility.

We Want Free Trade But We Want Free Trade That Is Good. We Want Free Trade That Levels The Playing Field.

Either We Have The Government Forcing Us And Telling Us What We Have To Do, Where We Have To Do It And How Much We Have To Pay For It Or We Put Ourselves In Charge - We As Consumers, As Patients.

Let's Show America Our Best And Nothing Less!

When Governor Romney Asked Me To Join The Ticket, I Said, 'let's Get This Done' - And That Is Exactly, What We're Going To Do.

The Belief That Recipients Of Government Aid Are Better Off The More We Spend On Them Is Remarkably Persistent. No Matter How Many Times This Central Tenet Of Liberalism Gets Debunked, Like Brett Favre, It Just Keeps Coming Back.

We`re Focused On Physically Securing The Border. We`re Focus On Those Who Are Coming To Do Us Harm From Terrorist States And Things Like That. That Is Our Focus, And It`s On Criminal Aliens, People Who Are Violent Criminals Who Have Not Been Deported.

Violent Criminals

We Believe That The Government Has An Important Role To Create The Conditions That Promote Entrepreneurship, Upward Mobility, And Individual Responsibility.

We`re Working With The Administration On Working On Tax Reform. You Can Go To Better.gop And See Our Blueprint, That`s What We`re Working Off Of. We Got To Get Our Tax Rates Down.

I Don't Have The Time. It Would Take Me Too Long To Go Through All Of The Math.

By Failing Seriously To Confront The Most Predicable Economic Crisis In Our Nation's History, The President's Policies Are Committing Us And Our Children To A Diminished Future.

We Need To Stop Spending Money We Don't Have.

We`re Not Going To End The Medicaid. We`re Going To Give The Governors More Control And Leeway To Bring Innovative Reforms To Make Medicaid Work.

Was It A Good Idea To Spend Taxpayer Dollars On Electric Cars In Finland, Or On Windmills In China? Was It A Good Idea To Borrow All This Money From Countries Like China And Spend It On All These Various Different Interest Groups?

The Work Ahead Will Be Hard. These Times Demand The Best Of Us - All Of Us, But We Can Do This. Together, We Can Do This. We Can Get This Country Working Again. We Can Get This Economy Growing Again. We Can Make The Safety Net Safe Again. We Can Do This.

Together We Can

I Know President Obama And Secretary Clinton Are Committed To Bringing America Together. This Needs To Be A Time Of Redemption, Not A Time Of Recrimination.

We Want Manufacturing To Return To America. We Want Jobs. Economic Growth.

We Need To Be Honest With The American People About The Problems And The Challenges Ahead And The Solutions That Are Needed To Fix Them. And I Would Argue It's The President Who Has Been Missing In Action On This Front. He Knows We Have A Debt Crisis Coming. All Independent Experts Show Us This. And So He Hasn't Even Given Us A Budget Yet. I Mean, The Law Required That He Was Supposed To Submit A Budget The First Monday In February.

The Appointment Of A Special Counsel, I Think, Helps Assure People And The Justice Department That They Are Going To Go Do Their Jobs Independently And Thoroughly, Which Is What We Called For All Along.

On Behalf Of Every Republican And Every Democrat In Congress, On Behalf Of The Whole House, I Want Our Friends In The Jewish Community To Know That We Stand With Them.

Let's Take Our Fight To Our Opponents With Better Ideas. Let's Get On The Offensive And Let's Stay There. Let's Compete In Every Part Of America And Turn Out At The Polls Like Every Last Vote Matters Because It Will.

We Have A Massive Heroin Opioid Epidemic Problem In America, Part Of That Is Because Of Drugs Coming From The Cartels From The South.

And The Biggest, Coldest Power Play Of All In Obamacare Came At The Expense Of The Elderly.

If We Keep Kicking The Can Down The Road, If We Follow The President's Lead Or If We Pass The Senate Budget, Then We Will Have A Debt Crisis. Then Everybody Gets Hurt. You Know Who Gets Hurt First And The Worst In A Debt Crisis? The Poor, The Elderly. That's What We're Trying To Prevent From Happening.

Life Is Short, You Better Make The Most Of It.

Let The Democrates Go On Making Its Case For More Government Control Over Every Aspect Of Our Lives. More Taxes To Pay. More Debt To Carry. More Rules To Follow. More Judges Who Just Make It Up As They Go Along. We Republicans, We Are Committed To A Federal Government That Acts Again As A Servant Accountable To The People, Following The Constitution, And Venturing Not One Inch Beyond The Consent Of The Governed. We, We In This Party, Offer A Better Way For Our Country Based On Fundamentals That Go Back To The Founding Generation.

The Patient Is The Nucleus Of The Health Care System.

We Are All Representatives Of The American People. We All Do Town Hall Meetings. We All Talk To Our Constituents. And I've Got To Tell You, The American People Are Engaged. And If You Think They Want A Government Takeover Of Health Care, I Would Respectfully Submit You're Not Listening To Them.

President Obama Clearly Cannot Run On His Record. All He's Offering Is More Of The Same. That's Not Good. Look At The Economy. It's Stagnating. And So, What They're Now Going To Try And Do Is Bring This Campaign Down To Little Things, Distractions, Distortions, Smear, Fear, Anger, Frustration.

I Don't Subscribe To Relativism, Whether It's In Political Philosophy, Foreign Policy Or In Life.

You're Going To Hear A Lot From President Obama And Yes, From Joe Biden, You're Hearing A Little Bit About Medicare These Days. What They Will Not Tell You Is They Turned Medicare Into A Piggybank To Fund 'obamacare.' They Took $716 Billion Dollars To Pay For The 'obamacare' Program.

The Other Thing That's Really Important In Tax Reform Is Making Sure That We Don't Tax American Businesses At Much Higher Tax Rates Than Our Foreign Competitors Tax Theirs. It Is Costing Us Jobs. It's One Of The Reasons All These American Companies Are Moving Overseas.

We`re A Humane Country. We Got To Make Sure That We Find The Intelligence. We Have Do It [protecting Our Boundaries] In A Humane Way Following The Law.

We Wonder If We Will Be The First Generation In American History To Leave Our Children With Fewer Opportunities And A Less Prosperous Nation Than The One We Inherited.

You Can't Fix A Fundamentally Broken Law; You've Got To Replace It. That's Why Congress Can't Save Obamacare With A Few Tweaks, Despite What Its Defenders Say. No Quick Fix Can Correct The Main Flaw: The Law Takes Power Away From Patients And Hands It To Bureaucrats.

We Believe A Renewed Commitment To Limited Government Will Unshackle Our Economy And Create Millions Of New Jobs And Opportunities For All People, Of Every Background, To Succeed And Prosper. Under This Approach, The Spirit Of Initiative - Not Political Clout - Determines Who Succeeds.

I Have Never Seen Opponents So Silent About Their Record, And So Desperate To Keep Their Power.

Mike Pence And Mitch Daniels In Indiana, The Woman Who`s Coming In To Run The Medicaid Program At The Federal Level, Her Name Is Seema Verma, A Brilliant Young Woman, She Made Indiana - Healthy Indiana Work So That Actually Low-income People In Indiana, Actually Have Real Healthcare Coverage That They Get Access To A Doctor. Those Kinds Of Reforms On The State Level We Want See Happen In All 50 States.

What I Keep Telling People Is, Getting Trade Agreements That Are Good For America Is Good For Everybody.

If Somebody Is Going To Try To Paste A Person's View On Epistemology To Me, Then Give Me Thomas Aquinas. Don't Give Me Ayn Rand.

Grow Jobs. Get This Economy Growing. Raise Wages. Simplify The Tax System, So It's Easy To Comply With.

When Our Opponents On The Left Have No Serious Ideas Of Their Own, They Resort To Emotional Appeals That Play Up Americans’ Fears About The Future.

In America, We Have A Bifurcated Country, We Have A Polarized Country. One Of The Reasons I Think It's Polarized Is Because Of Identity Politics On The Left.

Identity Politics

Donald Trump Turned Politics On Its Head.

Big-government Economics Breeds Crony Capitalism. It's Corrupt, Anything But Neutral, And A Barrier To Broad Participation In Prosperity.

I Live On The Same Block Where I Grew Up. We Belong To The Same Parish Where I Was Baptized. Janesville Is That Kind Of Place.

Under The Barack Obama Rules, If You Wanted To Help The Military, If You Wanted A Pay Raise For The Soldiers, If You Wanted To Buy New Airplanes And New Ships And More Munitions, A Dollar For That, You Had To Have A Dollar Domestic Spending. We Just Broke That Parity. That's The Biggest Victory We Could Have Had: $25 Billion Year Over Year For Our Military, To Begin To Rebuild Our Military, Without That Kind Of Corresponding Increase In Domestic Discretionary Spending.

The People Of Wisconsin Have Been Good To Me. I've Tried To Live Up To Their Trust. And Now I Ask Those Hardworking Men And Women, And Millions Like Them Across America, To Join Our Cause And Get This Country Working Again.
