More quotes by Paul Ryan
I tend to avoid the shows that focus on politics, just to get a break from it all, i tried watching the first couple episodes of 'House of Cards,' but I thought it was way over the top. Members of Congress aren't anything like Frank Underwood. Most of us are far less interesting.
Paul Ryan
Only by taking responsibility for oneself, to the greatest extent possible, can one ever be free, and only a free person can make responsible choices - between right and wrong, saving and spending, giving or taking.
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
PACs corrupt the system. They handle vast amounts of money and the money corrupts.
Paul Ryan
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
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.
Paul Ryan
Working together, America's military, Iraqi security forces and the Iraqi people have won a major battle in the war on terrorism.
Paul Ryan
President Obama was asked not long ago to reflect on any mistakes he might have made. He said, well, 'I haven't communicated enough.' He said his job is to 'tell a story to the American people' - as if that's the whole problem here? He needs to talk more, and we need to be better listeners?
Paul Ryan
Donald Trump is just a get-things-done kinda guy.
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
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
Big-government economics breeds crony capitalism. It's corrupt, anything but neutral, and a barrier to broad participation in prosperity.
Paul Ryan
The debt and the deficit is just getting out of control, and the administration is still pumping through billions upon trillions of new spending. That does not grow the economy.
Paul Ryan
You've got to have tax reform to get faster economic growth. Faster economic growth is necessary for us to get our debt under control.
Paul Ryan
Child support should do just that - support children, not the federal government.
Paul Ryan
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
I think there's always a role for Congress under every instance in every administration to conduct oversight of the executive branch.
Paul Ryan
You have to remember, eight out of 10 businesses in America, they file their business as individuals, as people.
Paul Ryan
When it comes to jobs, President Obama makes the Jimmy Carter years look like good old days. If we fired Jimmy Carter then, why would we rehire Barack Obama now?
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.
Paul Ryan
