We're saying no changes for Medicare for people above the age of 55. And in order to keep the promise to current seniors who've already retired and organized their lives around this program, you have to reform it for the next generation.

We all need to rededicate ourselves to making America great and making it a more perfect union.
Paul Ryan

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.
Paul Ryan

I really want to focus on economic growth and growing the economy.
Paul Ryan

What I keep telling people is, getting trade agreements that are good for America is good for everybody.
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.

I do politics in order to do policy.

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

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.

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.

There is no doubt our democracy can be very messy and America does remain a sharply divided country.

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.

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.
Paul Ryan
Image
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
Image
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.
Paul Ryan

The greatest threat to Medicare is Obamacare, and we're going to stop it.
Paul Ryan
Image
We don't have a tax revenue problem in Washington, we have a spending problem in Washington.
Paul Ryan
Image
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.
Paul Ryan
Image
What [President Donald Trump] is doing is taking away the executive overreach that President [Barack] Obama did which we thought exceeded his powers.

Big-government economics breeds crony capitalism. It's corrupt, anything but neutral, and a barrier to broad participation in prosperity.

Donald Trump is just a get-things-done kinda guy.
