More From Paul Ryan

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

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.

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.'

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

The Patient Is The Nucleus Of The Health Care System.

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.

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

We 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

We 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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

We`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 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.

I Voted To Send People To War.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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, 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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Hiding Spending Does Not Reduce Spending.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

If We Don't Make Tough Decisions Today Our Children Are Going To Have To Make Much, Much Tougher Decisions Tomorrow.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

We Are Looking For Bipartisan Solutions Not Partisan Rhetoric.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Claiming A Person Can't Do Their Job Because Of Their Race Is Sort Of Like The Textbook Definition Of A Racist Comment. I Think That Should Be Absolutely Disavowed. It's Absolutely Unacceptable.

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?

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

Together We Can

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

We`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.

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.

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

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

We`re 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.

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?

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

I'm Very Proud Of My Pro-life Record, And I've Always Adopted The Idea That, The Position That The Method Of Conception Doesn't Change The Definition Of Life.

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.

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'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.

What [president Donald Trump] Is Doing Is Taking Away The Executive Overreach That President [barack] Obama Did Which We Thought Exceeded His Powers.

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

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

I Do Politics In Order To Do Policy.

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.

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.

Our Number One Responsibility Is To Protect The Homeland.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Our Rights Come From Nature And God, Not Government.

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

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

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.

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

We 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.

I Learned A Good Deal About Economics, And About America, From The Author Of The Reagan Tax Reforms - The Great Jack Kemp.

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