The condition of your birth doesn't determine the outcome of your life. This is America.

Throughout human history, the American Idea has done more to help the poor than any other economic system ever designed.

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

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.

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.

We don't have a tax revenue problem in Washington, we have a spending problem in Washington.

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.
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.

We think that`s necessary just as a foundation for economic growth. It`s not the jobs in and of themselves, which you do make by building bridges and things like this, but it`s the economic growth that comes from having a modern infrastructure that is in dire need of repair.

We need leadership. We don't need a doubling down on the failed politics of the past.
Paul Ryan

We have a real economic growth problem in America. We are limping along. Wages are flat. And jobs aren’t being created near to the extent that they could and should be. So we think regulatory relief is very, very important.
Paul Ryan

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.

I don't consult polls to tell me what my principles are or what our policies should be.
Paul Ryan

We have got to go and compete for the minds and the hearts and the votes of everybody in this country, no matter who they are. And what I think we've had is one party takes a group of people for granted and another party has not paid attention to them.

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.

Hiding spending does not reduce spending.

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.

I believe in making government as Ronald Reagan said. Not the distributor of gifts and privilege but once again the protector of our liberties.

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.
