3 December 2020 Paul Ryan Hope and change? We’re not doing that anymore. They’re doing attack and blame. And so, I just think people are going to see through this. They want real leadership. They want us to get this country on the right track.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan Exploiting people’s emotions of fear, envy and anxiety is not hope, it’s not change, it’s partisanship. We don’t need partisanship. We don’t need demagoguery, we need solutions.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan By failing seriously to confront the most predicable economic crisis in our nation’s history, the President’s policies are committing us and our children to a diminished future.

3 December 2020 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.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan Activist government overreach and ongoing economic stagnation have shown us why Washington should not try to displace what is best left to civil society.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan 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.

3 December 2020 Paul Ryan 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.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan The president has declared that the debate over government-controlled health care is over. That will come as news to the millions of Americans who will elect Mitt Romney so we can repeal Obamacare.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan When our opponents on the Left have no serious ideas of their own, they resort to emotional appeals that play up Americans’ fears about the future.
3 December 2020 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.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan That’s the real secret to job creation – not borrowing and spending more money in Washington.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan We do not have a functioning market in the true sense of the word in health care. That’s a layer of transparency that’s sorely needed in America.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan Free enterprise empowers entrepreneurs who have ideas and imagination, investors who take risks, and workers who hone their skills and offer their labor.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan We wonder if we will be the first generation in American history to leave our children with fewer opportunities and a less prosperous nation than the one we inherited.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan I have never seen opponents so silent about their record, and so desperate to keep their power.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan That’s what we do in this country. That’s the American Dream. That’s freedom, and I’ll take it any day over the supervision and sanctimony of the central planners.
3 December 2020 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?

3 December 2020 Paul Ryan We need leadership. We don’t need a doubling down on the failed politics of the past.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan 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.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan If borrowing and spending all this money led to more jobs than we would be at full employment already.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan Mom was 50 when my Dad died. She got on a bus every weekday for years, and rode 40 miles each morning to Madison. She earned a new degree and learned new skills to start her small business. It wasn’t just a new livelihood. It was a new life.

3 December 2020 Paul Ryan There is a consensus of willing leaders from both parties coalescing around the right way forward in health care. Reform should address government-imposed inequities and barriers to true choice and competition.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan Behind every small business, there’s a story worth knowing. All the corner shops in our towns and cities, the restaurants, cleaners, gyms, hair salons, hardware stores – these didn’t come out of nowhere.
3 December 2020 Paul Ryan We must solve the problem in health care by curbing out-of-control costs that erode paychecks for working families and push quality coverage out of reach for millions of Americans.
