Speaker Paul Ryan: My 5 Point Agenda for 2016
Investors Business Daily ^ | 1-16-16 | Andrew Malcolm

Posted on 01/16/2016 8:21:03 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

Speaker Paul Ryan gives the Republican Party's Weekly Remarks

Here in Baltimore, over the last few days, Republicans have been talking about ideas to address the big challenges facing our country. Right now, Americans are anxious about their security and their futures.

We want to save the American Idea for the vast majority of Americans who believe it's just not there for them anymore. We want America to lead again. We want America to be confident again. That is our mission.

To do that, we can't just be an opposition party. We have to be a proposition party.

If we do not like the direction the country is going in - and we do not - then we have an obligation to offer an alternative. So in the coming months, we will put forward a bold, pro-growth agenda. It will show where we stand. By giving the people a clear choice in 2016, we will seek a mandate to do big things in 2017 and beyond.

The process will be driven by the people's representatives. Every representative - and their constituents - will have a chance to provide their say. These discussions will focus on five areas.

First, national security. How do we go about building a 21st-century military? What do we need to do to make sure we're equipped to defeat ISIS and the threat posed by radical Islamic terror? How do we make sure we are secure here at home?

First, national security
*****************************

Which starts with border security. We cannot possibly have national security while foreigners flow freely into our country.
Ryan has no intention of stopping the flow of fraudulently documented foreigners.

They really think we’re stupid. Just gave Obama and Dems everything they want FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS and now trying to say they’re going to fix everything.

Get Ryan out!

Where does Ryan articulate pushback on the illegal acts by the Wizzard? I didn’t think so.

We have to be a proposition party.

I'm not so sure I would use that phrase. I have been propositioned from time to time in my life, and it was never an experience I think the propositioner would have been proud of, to have been the basis for his/her obituary.

Yep.

Before the Obama administration is done, we will have added about $11 trillion to the national debt.

$11 trillion? They could have given $90,000+ to EVERY HOUSEHOLD in the USA for $11 trillion.

We actually have NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. Is our military better? Has our infrastructure improved? Is our economy better?

$11 trillion over budget under obama!!! Paul Ryan has been there for the ride.

That's what my first reaction was to the headline.

Speaker Ryan, I've heard that you're a fan of Atlas Shrugged...so am I. Sorry to say it, but you're more like Wesley Mouch than you would care to admit.

If you truly admired John Galt, Hank Rearden, etc., you'd use the power of the purse to shut down the IRS, EPA, and other agencies that are destroying freedom for American citizens.

” ...we can’t just be an opposition party.”

Earth to Ryan, earth to Ryan, you are not an opposition party, you should not even be thinking this way. YOU ARE THE LEADER OF THE MAJORITY PARTY. You CONTROL the purse.
