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

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?

Ryan, you idiot, you were not elected to impose your freakin 5 point agenda on the nation. You were elected by idiot voters from your small district to represent them in Congress.

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

That’s how Sanders would fix the financial crisis. Give every family $90,000.

Amazing how many rude and negative comments there are to a list of 5 goals that follow conservative principles.

I don’t think most posters bothered to read the article, instead opting to just mouth off.

I would have preferred that and we would all be better off for it.

Even better than that is our government not spending more than they have. They take in more than enough already. Also, where did the $11 trillion go?

Ryan is worse than Obama in my opinion. At least Obama is being true to his vastly wicked self. Ryan is a turncoat traitor.
