A lot of people don't believe in the American idea anymore.
Paul Ryan
Image
Health and Human Services has an enormous amount of discretion that they have so far used to make it harder to get affordable health care. To make you buy what the government insists you must buy. That doesn`t work.
Paul Ryan
Image
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.
Paul Ryan

If borrowing and spending all this money led to more jobs than we would be at full employment already.

I'm a person that can get along with people. I like people who believe passionately in things even if they're not the things I agree with.

The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand. The fight we are in here, make no mistake about it, is a fight of individualism versus collectivism.

Donald Trump turned politics on its head.
Paul Ryan

We can't keep measuring success by how much money are we throw at programs. We have to measure success as, 'Is it working?'

Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored by the support of this convention for vice president of the United States. I accept the duty to help lead our nation out of a jobs crisis and back to prosperity - and I know we can do this.

Big-government economics breeds crony capitalism. It's corrupt, anything but neutral, and a barrier to broad participation in prosperity.
Paul Ryan
Image
I think it is inflationary. I think it actually is counterproductive in many ways. You end up costing jobs from people who are at the bottom rung of the economic ladder.
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.

Chelsea Manning's treachery put American lives at risk and exposed some of our nation's most sensitive secrets. President Obama now leaves in place a dangerous precedent that those who compromise our national security won't be held accountable for their crimes.

Conventional wisdom on government's role in inequality often has it backwards. Tax reforms have resulted in a more progressive federal income tax government transfer payments have become less progressive.
Paul Ryan
Image
There are various different kinds of conservatives and different kinds of Republicans. We all come from different corners of our party. The key here is not only to unify and merge these approaches, but to also invite everyone else in America to get us focused on our solutions.
