We Will Work In Conjunction With The Administration, Passing Legislation, Repealing And Replacing Obamacare. When That Actually Takes Place, Will Take Some Time, And The Administration Will Help Determine How We Phase One Out And Replace And Phase In Its Replacement. The Reason We`re Acting Now Is Because Obamacare Is Collapsing Under Its Own Weight.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

Decisions We Make

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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 Feel Very Strongly About Making Work Pay, About Getting People Transitioned From Welfare To Work. Get People Skills They Need, Help They Need, So They Can Get On The Ladder Of Life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

What's Missing Is Leadership In The White House. And The Story That Barack Obama Does Tell, Forever Shifting Blame To The Last Administration, Is Getting Old. The Man Assumed Office Almost Four Years Ago - Isn't It About Time He Assumed Responsibility?

I Do Politics In Order To Do Policy.

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.

Seven Hundred And Sixteen Billion Dollars, Funneled Out Of Medicare By President Obama. An Obligation We Have To Our Parents And Grandparents Is Being Sacrificed, All To Pay For A New Entitlement We Didn't Even Ask For. The Greatest Threat To Medicare Is Obamacare, And We're Going To Stop It.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our Founders Got It Right When They Wrote In The Declaration Of Independence That Our Rights Come From Nature And Nature's God, Not From Government.

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

The Patient Is The Nucleus Of The Health Care System.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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`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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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`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.

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.

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

Donald Trump Is A Pretty Casual Guy. He Calls Me Paul.

America Is More Than Just A Place...it's An Idea. It's The Only Country Founded On An Idea. Our Rights Come From Nature And God, Not Government. We Promise Equal Opportunity, Not Equal Outcomes.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Film Is The Packaging Of Information In Cans. Videotape Is Involved With The Feeding Back Of Process. Film Rips Information Away From The Situation For Use Elsewhere. Videotape Can Be Fed Back Into A Given Situation And Enrich Experience. Film Extends Man As A Spectator. Videotape Extends Man As A Cybernator. Film Imports Information. Videotape Implodes Indigenous Data.

Progressives Deliver Everything Except Progress.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

We Are Looking For Bipartisan Solutions Not Partisan Rhetoric.

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

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

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.

Borrowing And Spending Is Not The Way To Prosperity.

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.

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.

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

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.

A Bold Reform Agenda Is Our Moral Obligation. If We Make The Case Effectively And Win This November, Then We Will Have The Moral Authority To Enact The Kind Of Fundamental Reforms America Has Not Seen Since Ronald Reagan's First Year.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

Christmas Present

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

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.

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.

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.

Democracy Is A Series Of Choices.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Our Rights Come From Nature And God, Not Government.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Having What I Call Crony Capitalism, Where You Take Money From Successful Small Businesses, Spend It In Washington On Favored Industries, On Favored Individuals, Picking Winners And Losers In The Economy, That's Not Pro-growth Economics.

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.

Pursuit Of Happiness

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

Keep Your Money In The First Place. Let`s Make Our Companies Competitive And Let`s Make Good Business Decisions Dominate Their Decision Making, Not What`s Good For Washington Carve Outs.

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

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