More From Paul Ryan

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

On July 4th, We Renew Our Commitment To The American Idea-the Belief That All Men Are Created Equal. We Read The Declaration. We Tell Our Kids The History. We Remember Those Who Died To Protect Our Country. And Along The Way, We Remind Ourselves Of Why We Love It.

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 Offer A Better Way For America With Ideas That Actually Work, A Reformed Tax Code That Rewards Free Enterprise Instead Of Just Enterprising Lobbyists. A Reformed Health Care System That Operates By Free Choice Instead Of By Force And Doesn't Leave You Answering To Cold, Clueless Bureaucrats.

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.

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.

I Think [donald Trump] Does Understand That. We Talked A Great Deal About The Separation On Power And The Constitution. And We`re Very Excited About What He`s Doing Because What He`s Doing Is Pulling Back What We See As Unconstitutional Executive Actions From The Past Presidents.

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.

Seven Out Of 10 Americans Don't Like The Direction The Country's Going.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Donald Trump Pulled Off An Amazing Political Feat. He Deserves Tremendous Credit For That.

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

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

We Need To Reclaim Our American System Of Limited Government, Low Taxes, Reasonable Regulations And Sound Money, Which Has Blessed Us With Unprecedented Prosperity. And It Has Done More To Help The Poor Than Any Other Economic System Ever Designed.

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.

Our Number One Responsibility Is To Protect The Homeland.

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.

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

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

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

Pursuit Of Happiness

Health And Human Services Has An Enormous Amount Of Discretion That They Have So Far Used To Make It Harder To Get Affordable Health Care. To Make You Buy What The Government Insists You Must Buy. That Doesn`t Work.

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.

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

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.

That Means We Get Other Countries To Play By Our Rules. You Add Up All The Countries That We Have Trade Agreements With, We Have A Surplus With Them. You Add Up The Countries We Do Not Have A Trade Agreement With, That`s Where A Massive Trade Deficit Comes From. So Our Goal Is To Get Free Trade Agreements, And That Means We Get Other Countries To Play And Live By Our Rules So We Can Level The Playing Field.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Look At The Potential For America. Look At The Direction We've Been Going. Look At The Direction We Need To Go.

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

Elections Have Consequences. And I Fundamentally Believe - This Is My Personal Opinion, I Know It's A Slightly Partisan Thing To Say - To Really Do What We Think Needs To Be Done, We're Going To Have To Win Some Elections.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

We Have A Plan For A Stronger Middle Class, With The Goal Of Generating 12 Million New Jobs Over The Next Four Years.

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

Hiding Spending Does Not Reduce Spending.

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.

The Tax Code Is 10 Times The Size Of The Bible With None Of The Good News.

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.

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.

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.

No, I’m Not One (of Those) People Who Votes For Something Then Writes To The Government To Ask Them To Send Us Money. I Did Not Request Any Stimulus Money.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I Never Asked For Stimulus.

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

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

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

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.

Mike Pence Is A Good Man, A Principled Conservative, And He Will Make A Great Vice President.

I Do Politics In Order To Do Policy.

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.

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.

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 Want To Bring Accountability To The Federal Government. I Want The Federal Government To Respect The States.

College Graduates Should Not Have To Live Out Their 20s In Their Childhood Bedrooms, Staring Up At Fading Obama Posters And Wondering When They Can Move Out And Get Going With Life.

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.

You Got To Remember, S Corporations Pay One Layer Of Tax, Corporations Pay Two Layers Of Tax. So We Basically See Equivalent, But Here`s The Point. The Rest Of The World, They Tax Their Businesses At An Average Rate In The Industrialized World Of 23 Percent. Our Corporate Is 35. Our Top S Corporate, Small Business Rate Is 44.6 Effectively. This Is Killing Us.

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.

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

We Have To Sell Conservatism To Non-conservatives. We Have To Take Our Principles And Apply Them To Problems And Go Sell Them To People. We Need To Show That We Have Better Ideas.

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

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

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.

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.

Republicans Have Offered Dozens Of Comprehensive Healthcare Plans Many Of Which Achieve Comprehensive Healthcare Reform Without Breaking What's Working In Healthcare. We Want To Fix What's Broken In Healthcare.

Healthcare Reform

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

What I'm Concerned About Is Endless Borrowing, Which Is Going To Compromise Our Economy Not Only Today But In The Future. Because We Know The Decisions We Make Right Now Really Dramatically Impact Us In The Future, And The Debt Is Literally Getting Out Of Our Control.

Decisions We Make

Borrowing And Spending Is Not The Way To 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

We're Saying No Changes For Medicare For People Above The Age Of 55. And In Order To Keep The Promise To Current Seniors Who've Already Retired And Organized Their Lives Around This Program, You Have To Reform It For The Next Generation.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

We Offer A Better Way For Dealing With Persistent Poverty In This Country. A Way That Shows Poor Americans The World Beyond Liberal Ware Housing And Check-writing Into The Life Everyone Can Find With Opportunity And Independence. The Happiness Of Using Your Gifts And The Dignity Of Having A Job. And You Know What? None Of This Will Happen Under Hillary Clinton. Only With Donald Trump And Mike Pence Do We Have A Chance At A Better Way.

We Are Looking For Bipartisan Solutions Not Partisan Rhetoric.

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.

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

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

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.'

Do We Believe That The Goal Of Government Is To Promote Equal Opportunity For All Americans To Make The Most Of Their Lives? Or, Do We Now Believe That Government's Role Is To Equalize The Results Of Peoples Lives?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

The Stimulus Was A Case Of Political Patronage, Corporate Welfare, And Cronyism At Their Worst.

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

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 Think The Administration Can Give Us A Lot Of Regulatory Flexibility Which Will Bring More Insurers In The Marketplace, Which Means More Competition, More Choice Which Drives Down Costs, So That Discretion Can Work In A Good Way Or It Could Work In A Bad Way.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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 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.

Every Now And Then, President Obama Sorta Drops His Veil. He's Less Coy About His Philosophy, He Sort Of Reveals His True Governing Philosophy, What He Really Believes.

The Man Assumed Office Almost Four Years Ago - Isn't It About Time He Assumed Responsibility?

I Favored The Idea Of Trans-pacific Partnership, But I Did Not Support The Administration - The [barack] Obama Administration Tpp. There Are Three Or Four Things They Did In That, That I Though Were Terrible Agreements That Were Not Worth Supporting.

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.

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.

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.

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

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`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

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.

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

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

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.

We Agree With That Goal [to Secure Our Border] And Will Be Working With [donald Trump] To Finance On Construction Of The Physical Barrier, Including The Wall On The Southern Border. The Law Is Already On The Books. I Voted For It, Like, Ten Years Ago, But Nothing Has Gotten Done And Now We Have A President Who Actually Wants To Secure The Border And We Are All In Favor Of Doing That.

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.

The Patient Is The Nucleus Of The Health Care System.

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.

Since Taking Office, President Obama Has Signed Into Law Spending Increases Of Nearly 25 Percent For Domestic Government Agencies - An 84 Percent Increase When You Include The Failed Stimulus. All Of This New Government Spending Was Sold As 'investment.'

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

I Think It Is Inflationary. I Think It Actually Is Counterproductive In Many Ways. You End Up Costing Jobs From People Who Are At The Bottom Rung Of The Economic Ladder.

If Borrowing And Spending All This Money Led To More Jobs Than We Would Be At Full Employment Already.

I Think Its Rather Peculiar. It's Not In Keeping With Our Founding Documents, Our Founding Vision. But I'd Guess You'd Have To Ask The Obama Administration Why They Purged All This Language From Their Platform. There Sure Is A Lot Of Mention Of Government, So I Guess I Would Put The Onus On Them To Answer Why They Did All These Purges Of God.

President Trump Is Right To Make Sure We Are Doing Everything Possible To Know Exactly Who Is Entering America.

This Is A Government Takeover Of Our Healthcare System. It Is The Government Basically Running The Entire Healthcare System, Turning Large Insurers Into De Facto Public Utilities, Depriving People Of Choice, Depriving People Of Options, Raising People's Prices, Raising Taxes When We Need New Jobs.

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 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.

None Of Us Have To Settle For The Best This Administration Offers - A Dull, Adventureless Journey From One Entitlement To The Next, A Government-planned Life, A Country Where Everything Is Free But Us.

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.

Mitt Romney And I Know The Difference Between Protecting A Program, And Raiding It. Ladies And Gentlemen, Our Nation Needs This Debate. We Want This Debate. We Will Win This Debate.

We Can't Keep Measuring Success By How Much Money Are We Throw At Programs. We Have To Measure Success As, 'is It Working?'

Measure Of Success

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.

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.
