More From Paul Ryan

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

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.

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

Politics Has Become A Blood Sport That Goes Beyond Just The Person Whose Name Is On The Ballot.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

What Donald Trump Has Been Concerned About, What He`s Talked About, Is When We Get Deals That Don`t Level The Playing Field, When We Get Deals That Aren`t The Kinds Of Best Deals We Can Get, We Want Good Deals, And Those Are Free Trade Deals To Lower The Barriers Between Trade Between Two Countries.

I Tend To Avoid The Shows That Focus On Politics, Just To Get A Break From It All, I Tried Watching The First Couple Episodes Of 'house Of Cards,' But I Thought It Was Way Over The Top. Members Of Congress Aren't Anything Like Frank Underwood. Most Of Us Are Far Less Interesting.

In A Justly Organized Community, However, Government Exists To Secure The Right To Life And The Other Human Rights That Follow From That Primary Right.

We Believe We Can Dramatically Improve The Way Medicaid Works By Giving Governors More Control And Flexibility To Innovate To Make It Work For People With Low Income Because It`s Not Working In So Many States Right Now.

I'm As Pro-life As A Person Gets. You're Not Going To Have A Truce.

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

Our Number One Responsibility Is To Protect The Homeland.

Back In 2008, Candidate Obama Called A $10 Trillion National Debt 'unpatriotic' - Serious Talk From What Looked To Be A Serious Reformer. Yet By His Own Decisions, President Obama Has Added More Debt Than Any Other President Before Him, And More Than All The Troubled Governments Of Europe Combined. One President, One Term, $5 Trillion In New Debt.

Look, Of Course People Are Scared Of Entitlement Reform Because Every Time You Put Entitlement Reform Out There, The Other Party Uses It As A Political Weapon Against You.

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

We Need To Upgrade And Modernize America`s Infrastructure.our Budget Is Going To Have To Figure Out How To Balance Those Priorities And Pay For It And Our Big Goal Is To Leverage The Private Sector Dollars As Much As Possible So That The Public Taxpayer Isn`t Paying For All Of This.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey, I'm A Catholic Deer Hunter, I Am Happy To Be Clinging To My Guns And My Religion.

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

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.'

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.

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.

Behind Every Small Business, There's A Story Worth Knowing. All The Corner Shops In Our Towns And Cities, The Restaurants, Cleaners, Gyms, Hair Salons, Hardware Stores - These Didn't Come Out Of Nowhere.

So, In Europe, They're Cutting People's Retirement And Health Benefits. And That's What We Want To Avoid From Happening. They're Raising Taxes, Entering A Recession. That's The Kind Of Economic Program That President Obama Has Put In Place.

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.

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.

I Think Ayn Rand Did The Best Job Of Anybody To Build A Moral Case Of Capitalism, And That Morality Of Capitalism Is Under Assault.

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.

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

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`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.

My Dad, A Small-town Lawyer, Was Also Named Paul. Until We Lost Him When I Was 16, He Was A Gentle Presence In My Life. I Like To Think He'd Be Proud Of Me And My Sister And Brothers, Because I'm Sure Proud Of Him And Of Where I Come From, Janesville, Wisconsin.

In A Clean Break From The Obama Years, And Frankly From The Years Before This President, We Will Keep Federal Spending At 20 Percent Of Gdp, Or Less. That Is Enough. The Choice Is Whether To Put Hard Limits On Economic Growth, Or Hard Limits On The Size Of Government, And We Choose To Limit Government.

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.

What's Missing Is Leadership In The White House. And The Story That Barack Obama Does Tell, Forever Shifting Blame To The Last Administration, Is Getting Old. The Man Assumed Office Almost Four Years Ago - Isn't It About Time He Assumed Responsibility?

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

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.

I Voted To Send People To War.

Hiding Spending Does Not Reduce Spending.

Mom Was 50 When My Dad Died. She Got On A Bus Every Weekday For Years, And Rode 40 Miles Each Morning To Madison. She Earned A New Degree And Learned New Skills To Start Her Small Business. It Wasn't Just A New Livelihood. It Was A New Life.

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

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.

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

I Think You Can Walk And Chew Gum At The Same Time. I Think You Can Oppose The President On Some Issue That You Fundamentally Disagree With, But Also Work With The Other Party On Issues You Do Agree With.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I Spent More Time Talking With This President [donald Trump] In The Last Few Days, I Think, Than I Probably Talked With This Last President [barack Obama] In The Last Six Months. So This Is Something That He Is Working Very Closely Hand In Glove With Congress.

Who Cares What Donald Trump Tweeted, You Know, On Some Thursday Night, If We Fix America's Big Problems?

Our Two Party Platforms Were Emphatic About Jerusalem Being The Capital Of Israel. For The Obama Administration To Remove This Language From The Democratic Party Platform Drives A Wedge Into One Of The Few Issues That Our Two Parties Agreed On.

I Believe In Making Government As Ronald Reagan Said. Not The Distributor Of Gifts And Privilege But Once Again The Protector Of Our Liberties.

A Clinton Presidency Is An Obama Third Term. And It's Very Difficult For Them To Get Away From It.

Before The Math And The Momentum Overwhelm Us All, We Are Going To Solve This Nation's Economic Problems. And I'm Going To Level With You: We Don't Have That Much Time. But If We Are Serious, And Smart, And We Lead, We Can Do This.

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.

There Are A Lot Of Different Ways Of Getting Mexico To Contribute To Doing This. And There Are Different Ways Of Defining How Exactly They Pay For It. [donald Trump] Has A Promise That He Made To The American People Which Is To Secure Our Border. A Wall Is A Big Part Of That.

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.

You've Got To Have Tax Reform To Get Faster Economic Growth. Faster Economic Growth Is Necessary For Us To Get Our Debt Under Control.

We Do Not Have A Functioning Market In The True Sense Of The Word In Health Care. That's A Layer Of Transparency That's Sorely Needed In America.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

President Obama Is The Kind Of Politician Who Puts Promises On The Record, And Then Calls That The Record. But We Are Four Years Into This Presidency. The Issue Is Not The Economy As Barack Obama Inherited It, Not The Economy As He Envisions It, But This Economy As We Are Living It.

Everyone, Everyone Is Equal. Everyone Has A Place. No One Is Written Off Because There Is Worth And Goodness In Every Life. Straight From The Declaration Of Independence, That Is The Republican Ideal. And If We Won't Defend It, Who Will?

I Think The Identity Politics That Have Been Played, Particularly The Class-warfare Version Of Identity Politics That Has Been Played, Has Put America Into A Class-based Society - More So Than At Any Point In My Lifetime.

Identity Politics

I Never Asked For Stimulus.

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.

Donald Trump Connected In Ways With People No One Else Did.

We Want American Families To Feel More Confident In Life. We Want The Next Generation To Know That Yes, The Best Days Of This Country Are Still Ahead Of Us.

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.

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?

I Think Donald Trump Is New. He's A Business Guy Running For President. So, You're Not Going To See A Conventional Campaign Because He Is Not A Conventional Politician. He's Not Even A Politician.

I Believe In A Free Society, Where Aspiration And Effort Can Make The Difference In Every Life. Where Your Starting Point Is Not Your Destiny And Where Your First Chance Is Not Your Only Chance.

Keep Your Money In The First Place. Let`s Make Our Companies Competitive And Let`s Make Good Business Decisions Dominate Their Decision Making, Not What`s Good For Washington Carve Outs.

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

There's A Gaping Difference Between The United States Of America And Putin's Russia.

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.

We Are Looking For Bipartisan Solutions Not Partisan Rhetoric.

The Debt And The Deficit Is Just Getting Out Of Control, And The Administration Is Still Pumping Through Billions Upon Trillions Of New Spending. That Does Not Grow The Economy.

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.

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.

Donald Trump Is Basically Giving Voice To A Lot Of People Who Have Felt That They Were Voiceless.

I See Problems That Can Be Fixed Because I See Solutions That Are Actually Occurring.

There Are People In Communities Who Are Actually Out There Fighting Poverty Eye-to-eye, Soul-to-soul, In Neighborhoods That Actually Do Well, That Succeed. But For Government, I Think In Many Cases, They Could Do More.

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.

Every Successful Individual Knows That His Or Her Achievement Depends On A Community Of Persons Working Together.

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.

This Debt Crisis Coming To Our Country. The Wall And Tidal Wave Of Debt That Is Befalling Our Nation. Medicare And Social Security Go Bankrupt Within Ten Years, We Have A Debt That Is Looming So High That In The Last Year Of President Obama's Budget Just The Interest Payments On Our Debt Is $916 Billion Dollars.

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

I Grew Up Reading Ayn Rand And It Taught Me Quite A Bit About Who I Am And What My Value Systems Are, And What My Beliefs Are.

And When You Look At The Twentieth-century Experiment With Collectivism-that Ayn Rand, More Than Anybody Else, Did Such A Good Job Of Articulating The Pitfalls Of Statism And Collectivism-you Can't Find Another Thinker Or Writer Who Did A Better Job Of Describing And Laying Out The Moral Case For Capitalism Than Ayn Rand.

Not Just The Jobs Building The Infrastructure, But You Need To Have A Good Highway System. You Need To Have A Good Bridge System, A Good Pipeline System, A Good Canal And Waterway System For Economic Growth To Occur, For A Modern Economy To Succeed.

I`d Say Is Stimulus Infrastructure Spending Is Not Instant Jobs. I Think The Real Reason The President [donald Trump] Wants To Do This Is Because We Have A Crumbling Infrastructure Problem And You Need A Good Modern Infrastructure For Economic Growth To Occur.

We Must Solve The Problem In Health Care By Curbing Out-of-control Costs That Erode Paychecks For Working Families And Push Quality Coverage Out Of Reach For Millions Of Americans.

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.

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

Democracy Is A Series Of Choices.

I Accept The Calling Of My Generation To Give Our Children The America That Was Given To Us, With Opportunity For The Young And Security For The Old - And I Know That We Are Ready.

It All Started Off With Stirring Speeches, Greek Columns, The Thrill Of Something New. Now All That's Left Is A Presidency Adrift, Surviving On Slogans That Already Seem Tired, Grasping At A Moment That Has Already Passed, Like A Ship Trying To Sail On Yesterday's Wind.

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.

We`re Putting Ourselves - We`re Basically Double Taxing Made In America Products. And So What We`re Saying Is Let`s Equalize This So That We`re On A Level Playing Field, So That American-made Goods And Services Are On A Level Playing Field With The Rest Of The World.

Our Rights Come From Nature And God, Not Government.

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.

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

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.

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

I Really Want To Focus On Economic Growth And Growing The Economy.

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.

I Give Out Atlas Shrugged As Christmas Presents, And I Make All My Interns Read It.

Christmas Present

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

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

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

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 Feel Very Strongly About Making Work Pay, About Getting People Transitioned From Welfare To Work. Get People Skills They Need, Help They Need, So They Can Get On The Ladder Of Life.

Our Goal Is To Make Sure That Everyone In This Country Has Access To Affordable Healthcare, Including People With Pre-existing Conditions. So They Can Access Affordable Coverage. That Is Not What You Have With Obamacare.

I Think There's Always A Role For Congress Under Every Instance In Every Administration To Conduct Oversight Of The Executive Branch.

America Is More Than Just A Place...it's An Idea. It's The Only Country Founded On An Idea. Our Rights Come From Nature And God, Not Government. We Promise Equal Opportunity, Not Equal Outcomes.

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.

Mr. Vice President, I Know You're Under A Lot Of Duress To Make Up For Lost Ground, But I Think People Would Be Better Served If We Don't Keep Interrupting Each Other.

Let's Show America Our Best And Nothing Less!

Let's Pass A Bill To Cover The Moon With Yogurt That Will Cost $5 Trillion Today. And Then Let's Pass A Bill The Next Day To Cancel That Bill. We Could Save $5 Trillion.

I Learned A Good Deal About Economics, And About America, From The Author Of The Reagan Tax Reforms - The Great Jack Kemp. What Gave Jack That Incredible Enthusiasm Was His Belief In The Possibilities Of Free People, In The Power Of Free Enterprise And Strong Communities To Overcome Poverty And Despair. We Need That Same Optimism Right Now.

Child Support Should Do Just That - Support Children, Not The Federal Government.

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

The Reason I Got Involved In Public Service, By And Large, If I Had To Credit One Thinker, One Person, It Would Be Ayn Rand. The Fight We Are In Here, Make No Mistake About It, Is A Fight Of Individualism Versus Collectivism.

Class Is Not A Fixed Designation In This Country. We Are An Upwardly Mobile Society With A Lot Of Movement Between Income Groups.

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?

We Don’t Want To Turn The Safety Net Into A Hammock That Lulls Able-bodied People To Lives Of Dependency And Complacency...

Film Is The Packaging Of Information In Cans. Videotape Is Involved With The Feeding Back Of Process. Film Rips Information Away From The Situation For Use Elsewhere. Videotape Can Be Fed Back Into A Given Situation And Enrich Experience. Film Extends Man As A Spectator. Videotape Extends Man As A Cybernator. Film Imports Information. Videotape Implodes Indigenous Data.

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.

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.

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.

Going On And Getting Good Bilateral Agreement Is A Better Way [than Trans-pacific Partnership Agreements], And I`m Fine With That Strategy. I Think That Strategy Can Work As Well.

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.

There Are Various Different Kinds Of Conservatives And Different Kinds Of Republicans. We All Come From Different Corners Of Our Party. The Key Here Is Not Only To Unify And Merge These Approaches, But To Also Invite Everyone Else In America To Get Us Focused On Our Solutions.

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

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

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.

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

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.

We Must Promote Upward Mobility, Starting With Solutions That Speak To Our Broken Education System, Broken Immigration Policy, And Broken Safety-net Programs That Foster Dependency Instead Of Helping People Get Back On Their Feet.

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.

We Have Got To Go And Compete For The Minds And The Hearts And The Votes Of Everybody In This Country, No Matter Who They Are. And What I Think We've Had Is One Party Takes A Group Of People For Granted And Another Party Has Not Paid Attention To Them.

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.

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.

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

Here`s What The Rest Of The World Does That We Don`t Do. They Take The Tax Off Of Their Exports And Place A Tax On Their Imports. We Do The Opposite. We Tax Our Exports And Don`t Tax Our Imports.

We Will Not Duck The Tough Issues, We Will Lead.

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.

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.

Whatever Kind Of Device Or Barrier Or Policy To Secure The Border, That's Necessary To Secure The Border, Then Do It.

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

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

In Pennsylvania, 38 Percent Of Pennsylvania Seniors Chose To Get Their Medicare From A Plan Called Medicare Advantage. It's Their Choice. Forty-seven Percent Of Them Are Going To Lose It Under 'obamacare' According To Medicare By 2017.

Conventional Wisdom On Government's Role In Inequality Often Has It Backwards. Tax Reforms Have Resulted In A More Progressive Federal Income Tax; Government Transfer Payments Have Become Less Progressive.

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

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

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

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

This Is Again, One Of Our Pieces Of Our 200-pay Plan, Part Of Our Very Ambitious Agenda. We Really Don`t Think We Can Get The Kind Of Economic Growth We Could - We Had The Potential To Get Without Tax Reform.

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

So Here's The Question: Without A Change In Leadership, Why Would The Next Four Years Be Any Different From The Last Four Years?

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.

Free Enterprise Empowers Entrepreneurs Who Have Ideas And Imagination, Investors Who Take Risks, And Workers Who Hone Their Skills And Offer Their Labor.

Wages Never Seem To Go Up. The Whole Economy Feels Stuck, And Millions Of Americans, Millions Of Americans, Middle-class Security Is Now Just A Memory. Progressives Like To Talk Like Barack Obama Likes To Talk Forever About Poverty In America. And If A Talk Did Any Good, We'd Have Overcome Those Deep Problems Long Ago. This Explains Why Under The Most Liberal President We Have Had So Far, Poverty In America Is Worse, Especially For Our Fellow Citizens Who Were Promised Better And Who Need It Most.

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?

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.

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

We Think That`s Necessary Just As A Foundation For Economic Growth. It`s Not The Jobs In And Of Themselves, Which You Do Make By Building Bridges And Things Like This, But It`s The Economic Growth That Comes From Having A Modern Infrastructure That Is In Dire Need Of Repair.

I Don't Consult Polls To Tell Me What My Principles Are Or What Our Policies Should Be.

A Free Economy And Strong Communities Honor The Dignity Of Every Person, Rewarding Effort With Justice, Promoting Upward Mobility, And Building Solidarity Among Citizens.

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

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.

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.

If You're Running For President, You've Got To Do A Lot Of Things To Line Up A Candidacy. I've Not Done Any Of Those Things. It's Not My Plan. My Plan Is To Be A Good Chairman Of The House Budget Committee And Fight For The Fiscal Sanity Of This Nation.

While President Obama Shirks His Responsibility To Advance Solutions To Our Fiscal Challenges, He Can No Longer Hide From The Merciless Math Of The Balance Sheet. Conservatives Have Made Certain Of 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.

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

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.
