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.
Paul Ryan
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.
Paul Ryan
Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored by the support of this convention for vice president of the United States. I accept the duty to help lead our nation out of a jobs crisis and back to prosperity - and I know we can do this.
Paul Ryan
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.
Paul Ryan
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.

The stimulus was a case of political patronage, corporate welfare, and cronyism at their worst.
Paul Ryan
We can't keep measuring success by how much money are we throw at programs. We have to measure success as, 'Is it working?'
Paul Ryan
Our rights come from nature and God, not government.
Paul Ryan
Ayn Rand more than anyone else did a fantastic job of explaining the morality of capitalism, the morality of individualism.
Paul Ryan

Paul Ryan
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.
Paul Ryan
Hiding spending does not reduce spending.
Paul Ryan
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.
Paul Ryan
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.
Paul Ryan
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.
Paul Ryan
Here's the problem if you keep raising tax rates: You slow down economic growth.
Paul Ryan
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.
Paul Ryan
President Trump is right to make sure we are doing everything possible to know exactly who is entering America.
Paul Ryan
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.
