Here`s what the rest of the world does that we don`t do. They take the tax off of their exports and place a tax on their imports. We do the opposite. We tax our exports and don`t tax our imports.

Big-government economics breeds crony capitalism. It's corrupt, anything but neutral, and a barrier to broad participation in prosperity.
Paul Ryan
Image
President Trump is right to make sure we are doing everything possible to know exactly who is entering America.
Paul Ryan
Image
It's a fundamental misunderstanding of human nature and of the concepts of liberty, freedom, and self-determination. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of economics. He (Obama) believes that the pie is fixed and that he needs to more equitably divide up the slices.

My Dad, a small-town lawyer, was also named Paul. Until we lost him when I was 16, he was a gentle presence in my life. I like to think he'd be proud of me and my sister and brothers, because I'm sure proud of him and of where I come from, Janesville, Wisconsin.

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
Image
In government-directed economies, the collective takes priority over the individual. The moral ideal is equal results. That approach could not be further removed from the real world.
Paul Ryan
Image
Ayn Rand more than anyone else did a fantastic job of explaining the morality of capitalism, the morality of individualism.
Paul Ryan
Image
We want American families to feel more confident in life. We want the next generation to know that yes, the best days of this country are still ahead of us.

Image
Going on and getting good bilateral agreement is a better way [than Trans-Pacific Partnership agreements], and I`m fine with that strategy. I think that strategy can work as well.
Paul Ryan
Image
The appointment of a special counsel, I think, helps assure people and the Justice Department that they are going to go do their jobs independently and thoroughly, which is what we called for all along.
Paul Ryan
Image
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.
Paul Ryan

We believe, as our founders did, that 'the pursuit of happiness' depends upon individual liberty and individual liberty requires limited government.
Paul Ryan
Image
I believe in making government as Ronald Reagan said. Not the distributor of gifts and privilege but once again the protector of our liberties.
Paul Ryan
Image
No, I’m not one (of those) people who votes for something then writes to the government to ask them to send us money. I did not request any stimulus money.
Paul Ryan
Image
We will not spend four years blaming others, we will take responsibility.
Paul Ryan
Image
We must promote upward mobility, starting with solutions that speak to our broken education system, broken immigration policy, and broken safety-net programs that foster dependency instead of helping people get back on their feet.
Paul Ryan
Image
What we heard today was not fiscal leadership from our Commander-in-Chief, what we heard today was a political broadside from our Campaigner-in-Chief.
Paul Ryan
Image
People like me who are reform-minded ignore the people who say, 'Just criticize and don't do anything and let's win by default.' That's ridiculous.
Paul Ryan
Image
ObamaCare is a massive budget buster, that it is creating massive deficits in the future. And I really believe it's going to destroy the health care plan, the health care system in America.
Paul Ryan

The patient is the nucleus of the health care system.
