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.

We must solve the problem in health care by curbing out-of-control costs that erode paychecks for working families and push quality coverage out of reach for millions of Americans.
Paul Ryan

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.

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.

We do not have a debt crisis right now, but we see it coming. We know it's irrefutably happening. And the point we're trying to make with our budget is let's get ahead of this problem.

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

Donald Trump is a pretty casual guy. He calls me Paul.

I see problems that can be fixed because I see solutions that are actually occurring.

Image
We must be clear. White supremacy is repulsive. This bigotry is counter to all America stands for. There can be no moral ambiguity.
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.

Whatever kind of device or barrier or policy to secure the border, that's necessary to secure the border, then do it.

Politics has become a blood sport that goes beyond just the person whose name is on the ballot.
Paul Ryan
Image
I do politics in order to do policy.

Donald Trump connected in ways with people no one else did.
Paul Ryan
Image
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.

President Trump is right to make sure we are doing everything possible to know exactly who is entering America.

PACs corrupt the system. They handle vast amounts of money and the money corrupts.

I think you can walk and chew gum at the same time. I think you can oppose the president on some issue that you fundamentally disagree with, but also work with the other party on issues you do agree with.
Paul Ryan
Image
Exploiting people's emotions of fear, envy and anxiety is not hope, it's not change, it's partisanship. We don't need partisanship. We don't need demagoguery, we need solutions.

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