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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

There Are Instances In Which American Interests Align With Russia And There Are Those Where They Don't. And So The Question Is, Can We Help Steer Russia To Being Something That Doesn't Conflict With Our Interests And Something That - And A Country That Aligns With Our Interests?

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.

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

We Do Not Have A Debt Crisis Right Now, But We See It Coming. We Know It's Irrefutably Happening. And The Point We're Trying To Make With Our Budget Is Let's Get Ahead Of This Problem.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Moving From An Opposition Party To A Governing Party Comes With Growing Pains. And, Well, We're Feeling Those Growing Pains Today. Doing Big Things Is Hard. All Of Us. All Of Us, Myself Included, We Will Need Time To Reflect On How We Got To This Moment, What We Could Have Done To Do It Better.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Donald Trump Is Communicating With People In America Who've Felt Like They Have Not Been Listened To.

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.'

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Borrowing And Spending Is Not The Way To Prosperity.

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.

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.

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.

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

Christmas Present

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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?

Seven Out Of 10 Americans, They Do Not Like The Direction Our Country Is Going. Many Of Our Fellow Citizens Feel Alienated And Have Lost Faith In Our Core Institutions. They Don't Feel Heard And They Don't Feel Represented By Those In Office.

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

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

There`s A Long Conversation We`re Going To Have About How To Enforce Immigration Laws. But Physically Securing The Border Is Essential.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

I Voted To Send People To War.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Let's Move Forward And Fix America's Problems.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The Problem With Our Deficit Is Not Because Americans Are Taxed Too Little. The Problem With The Deficit Is Because Washington Spends Too Much Money. We Have Got To Stop Spending Money We Don't Have.

Hiding Spending Does Not Reduce Spending.

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

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

Democracy Is A Series Of Choices.

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.

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.

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.

I Want To Say To The American People, We Hear You. We Will Do Right By You.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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`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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I`ve Said This When I Pass The Trade Promotion Authority Law, Which Allows Us To Get Trade Agreements. If We Write The Rules Of The Global Economy, We Will Succeed In The 21st Century. But We Have To Write Those Rules, We Have To Engage, And I Think The President [donald Trump] Said Trans-pacific Partnership Is Not The Way To Do It.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Donald Trump Was A Very Unconventional Candidate. He's Going To Be An Unconventional President.

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

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.

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 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.

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

Leaking Classified Information Is A Crime. And If We Have Evidence That Somebody In The Executive Branch Is Committing A Crime, We Should Prosecute That Person.

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

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.

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

Progressives Deliver Everything Except Progress.

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

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

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.

That's What We Do In This Country. That's The American Dream. That's Freedom, And I'll Take It Any Day Over The Supervision And Sanctimony Of The Central Planners.

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

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
