We believe, as our founders did, that 'the pursuit of happiness' depends upon individual liberty and individual liberty requires limited government.
Paul Ryan
Image
We have to bring relief as fast as possible to people who are struggling under Obamacare.
Paul Ryan
Image
A Romney-Ryan administration will protect and strengthen Medicare, for my Mom's generation, for my generation, and for my kids and yours.
Paul Ryan
Image
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.
Paul Ryan
Image
We think the administration can give us a lot of regulatory flexibility which will bring more insurers in the marketplace, which means more competition, more choice which drives down costs, so that discretion can work in a good way or it could work in a bad way.
Paul Ryan
Image
None of us have to settle for the best this administration offers - a dull, adventureless journey from one entitlement to the next, a government-planned life, a country where everything is free but us.
Paul Ryan
Image
Donald Trump is basically giving voice to a lot of people who have felt that they were voiceless.
Paul Ryan

Mike Pence is a good man, a principled conservative, and he will make a great vice president.
Paul Ryan

I think conditions on the ground determine what you need in a particular area.

In a justly organized community, however, government exists to secure the right to life and the other human rights that follow from that primary right.
Paul Ryan

We all need to rededicate ourselves to making America great and making it a more perfect union.
Paul Ryan
Image
Our point is we don`t want to sit in the government and tell you what you have to buy [as a health insurance]. We want to make this work so that you have choices, so that we have more competition.
Paul Ryan

What did the taxpayers get out of the Obama stimulus? More debt. That money wasn't just spent and wasted – it was borrowed, spent, and wasted.
Paul Ryan
Image
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
If borrowing and spending all this money led to more jobs than we would be at full employment already.
Paul Ryan
Image
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.
Paul Ryan
Image
That's the real secret to job creation - not borrowing and spending more money in Washington.
Paul Ryan
Image
You know, you work hard but play by the rules, you can rise. You can do well. That's what we're taught. That's what we believe. That's what we think of as America. Problem is, there are just generations of people in this country who do not think that.

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

Hiding spending does not reduce spending.
