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 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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

President 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Borrowing And Spending Is Not The Way To Prosperity.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

There's No "agreement." The President Donald Trump And The Chief Of Staff Called Me From Air Force One Today To Discuss What Was Discussed - And It Was A Discussion, Not An Agreement Or Negotiation. We Need Border Security And Enforcement As Part Of Any Agreement. I Think That's Something The Democrats Are Beginning To Understand.

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.

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

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 Wonder If We Will Be The First Generation In American History To Leave Our Children With Fewer Opportunities And A Less Prosperous Nation Than The One We Inherited.

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

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.

We`re Focused On Physically Securing The Border. We`re Focus On Those Who Are Coming To Do Us Harm From Terrorist States And Things Like That. That Is Our Focus, And It`s On Criminal Aliens, People Who Are Violent Criminals Who Have Not Been Deported.

Violent Criminals

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.

Life Is Short, You Better Make The Most Of It.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

We`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.

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.

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 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 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.

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

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

Obamacare Is A Massive Budget Buster, That It Is Creating Massive Deficits In The Future. And I Really Believe It's Going To Destroy The Health Care Plan, The Health Care System In America.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

To Borrow A Phrase From My Friend Erskine Bowles On The Fiscal Commission, We Are The Healthiest Looking Horse In The Glue Factory. That Means America Is Still A Step Ahead Of The European Nations Who Are Confronting A Debt Crisis, Of Japan That's In Its Second Lost Decade.

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

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

I 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.

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

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.

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.

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

I Think [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.

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.

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.

The Patient Is The Nucleus Of The Health Care System.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.'

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.

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

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

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 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.

I Never Asked For Stimulus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

There Is A Consensus Of Willing Leaders From Both Parties Coalescing Around The Right Way Forward In Health Care. Reform Should Address Government-imposed Inequities And Barriers To True Choice And Competition.

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.

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

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

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.'

I Do Politics In Order To Do Policy.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

We 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

I Voted To Send People To War.

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

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

Our Rights Come From Nature And God, Not Government.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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?

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

Christmas Present

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

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

The Greatest Threat To Medicare Is Obamacare, And We're Going To Stop It.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I Believe In The Principles That Built America, I Believe In The Constitution.

A Religious Test For Entering Our Country Is Not Reflective Of America's Fundamental Values. I Reject It.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

We Have A Real Economic Growth Problem In America. We Are Limping Along. Wages Are Flat. And Jobs Aren’t Being Created Near To The Extent That They Could And Should Be. So We Think Regulatory Relief Is Very, Very Important.

You 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

That's What's Going To Matter At The End Of The Day. Did We Improve People's Lives? Did We Solve The Problems That The American People Need Solved? Are We Addressing The Concerns Of People Who Are Tired Of Being Tired?

The End Of The Day

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Moral Case For Individual Initiative In A Free Economy Holds That People Have A God-given Right To Use Their Creativity To Produce Things That Improve Our Lives.

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.

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

Donald Trump Turned Politics On Its Head.

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?
