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.
Paul Ryan
Image
That's the real secret to job creation - not borrowing and spending more money in Washington.

The greatest threat to Medicare is Obamacare, and we're going to stop it.

Look, the president is elected to lead and to face the country's biggest challenges. The country's biggest challenge domestically speaking, no doubt about it, is a debt crisis, and I'm really hoping that he is going to give us a budget that tackles this debt crisis.

A Romney-Ryan administration will protect and strengthen Medicare, for my Mom's generation, for my generation, and for my kids and yours.

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

If you can clean up the cesspool of the tax code and give us a pro-growth tax code, that is how you grow the economy. That`s how you take power and money out of Washington and give it back to the people and we are so excited. We have a president [Donald Trump] that is here to work with us in doing that.
Paul Ryan
Image
I think Donald Trump understands there's a Constitution. And that those separate but equal branches of government give us a limited government. And he believes that.
Paul Ryan
Image
Look, only in Washington is not raising taxes considered a tax cut. Nobody's getting a tax cut here. We're not cutting taxes. We're preventing tax increases from occurring.

Donald Trump heard a voice out in America that no one else heard.
Paul Ryan

I think the identity politics that have been played, particularly the class-warfare version of identity politics that has been played, has put America into a class-based society - more so than at any point in my lifetime.
Paul Ryan

Seven out of 10 Americans, they do not like the direction our country is going. Many of our fellow citizens feel alienated and have lost faith in our core institutions. They don't feel heard and they don't feel represented by those in office.
Paul Ryan

Our debt is out of control. What was a fiscal challenge is now a fiscal crisis. We cannot deny it instead we must, as Americans, confront it responsibly. And that is exactly what Republicans pledge to do.
Paul Ryan

So here's the question: Without a change in leadership, why would the next four years be any different from the last four years?
