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.

Look, The President Is Elected To Lead And To Face The Country's Biggest Challenges. The Country's Biggest Challenge Domestically Speaking, No Doubt About It, Is A Debt Crisis, And I'm Really Hoping That He Is Going To Give Us A Budget That Tackles This Debt Crisis.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, Absolutely Because We Think There Is A Way To Do This Through Earned Legalization Without Rewarding People Who Have Come In With Undocumented Status, Illegally. We Don't Want To Give Them An Advantage Over Those Who Came Here Legally And We Think That There's A Way To Do This While Still Respecting The Rule Of Law. It's Clear That What The President Is Talking About Does Not Do That.

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'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.

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

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.

Those Kinds Of Reforms On The State Level We Want See Happen In All 50 States.

I Reject Her [ayn Rand's] Philosophy. It's An Atheist Philosophy. It Reduces Human Interactions Down To Mere Contracts And It Is Antithetical To My Worldview. If Somebody Is Going To Try To Paste A Person's View On Epistemology To Me, Then Give Me Thomas Aquinas. Don't Give Me Ayn Rand.

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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

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.

Hiding Spending Does Not Reduce Spending.

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.

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

I Never Asked For Stimulus.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Mr. Chairman, Delegates, And Fellow Citizens: I Am Honored By The Support Of This Convention For Vice President Of The United States. I Accept The Duty To Help Lead Our Nation Out Of A Jobs Crisis And Back To Prosperity - And I Know We Can Do This.

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

I 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.

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 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.

I Never Believed That One Big Bill Is The Way To Go.

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.

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

The President Has Declared That The Debate Over Government-controlled Health Care Is Over. That Will Come As News To The Millions Of Americans Who Will Elect Mitt Romney So We Can Repeal Obamacare.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Borrowing And Spending Is Not The Way To Prosperity.

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

Pursuit Of Happiness

President Obama'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.

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

Let's Show America Our Best And Nothing Less!

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

I Voted To Send People To War.

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

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.

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

I Think It's Important To Not Have Some Sort Of One-size-fits-all Program In Washington, Which Has Downsides, Like Killing Entry-level Jobs. But Pulling People Into The Workforce...

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

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.

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

We 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

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

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

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.

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

What 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.

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 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. A Commitment To A Renewed Commitment To Building A 21st Century Military And Giving Our Veterans The Care That They Were Promised And The Care That They Earned.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

The Patient Is The Nucleus Of The Health Care System.

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.

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

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.

Millions Of Young Americans Have Graduated From College During The Obama Presidency, Ready To Use Their Gifts And Get Moving In Life. Half Of Them Can't Find The Work They Studied For, Or Any Work At All. So Here's The Question: Without A Change In Leadership, Why Would The Next Four Years Be Any Different From The Last Four Years?

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

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

When I Was Waiting Tables, Washing Dishes, Or Mowing Lawns For Money, I Never Thought Of Myself As Stuck In Some Station In Life. I Was On My Own Path, My Own Journey, An American Journey Where I Could Think For Myself, Decide For Myself, Define Happiness For Myself.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

We 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 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.

After Four Years Of Getting The Run-around, America Needs A Turnaround, And The Man For The Job Is Governor Mitt Romney.
