A lot of people don't believe in the American idea anymore.

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.
Paul Ryan
Image
With all their attack ads, the President is just throwing away money...and he's pretty experienced at that.
Paul Ryan
Image
Look at the potential for America. Look at the direction we've been going. Look at the direction we need to go.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You have to remember, eight out of 10 businesses in America, they file their business as individuals, as people.

Who cares what Donald Trump tweeted, you know, on some Thursday night, if we fix America's big problems?
Paul Ryan
Image
I think there's always a role for Congress under every instance in every administration to conduct oversight of the executive branch.

Mike Pence is a good man, a principled conservative, and he will make a great vice president.
Paul Ryan
Image
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.
Paul Ryan
Image
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.

The stimulus was a case of political patronage, corporate welfare, and cronyism at their worst.

A Clinton presidency is an Obama third term. And it's very difficult for them to get away from it.

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.

We need to stop spending money we don't have.
