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 have to bring relief as fast as possible to people who are struggling under Obamacare.
Paul Ryan

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.

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?

I give out Atlas Shrugged as Christmas presents, and I make all my interns read it.

We believe that the government has an important role to create the conditions that promote entrepreneurship, upward mobility, and individual responsibility.
Paul Ryan
Image
We want free trade but we want free trade that is good. We want free trade that levels the playing field.
Paul Ryan
Image
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

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.

Our rights come from nature and God, not government.
Paul Ryan

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.
Paul Ryan
Image
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.
Paul Ryan
Image
If borrowing and spending all this money led to more jobs than we would be at full employment already.
Paul Ryan
Image
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.
Paul Ryan
Image
The stimulus was a case of political patronage, corporate welfare, and cronyism at their worst.
Paul Ryan
Image
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.
Paul Ryan

Politics has become a blood sport that goes beyond just the person whose name is on the ballot.
Paul Ryan
Image
But just because we can't fix Obamacare doesn't mean we can't start to get rid of its worst features. On Thursday, the House will take up a bill to define 'full time' as 40 hours per week, so more people can work full time.
Paul Ryan

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.

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