“I don’t think people asked me to be Speaker so I can take more money from hardworking taxpayers to create a few new federal entitlement”.
His first test will be the long-term, expensive highway bill, which is due for a vote in the House this week.
“It’s a little hard for him to make the claim that somehow the president hasn’t acted in good faith on immigration when Speaker Ryan actively thwarted a compromise he himself helped to broker”, Earnest said on Monday. “We’ve been too timid on policy; we’ve been too timid on vision – we have none”.
“We’re going to go on offense on ideas and give the country a bold conservative agenda, because we don’t think the country’s heading in the right direction right now”, Ryan said. At the time, he said that spending cuts would make that arm of the military the strongest it has been since before World War I. No. 3, we have to be a more effective opposition party.
“I very much believe we need a bigger Navy, big time”, Ryan said in an interview for the “Hugh Hewitt Show.” Saying he needs to “clean up the barn” before he turns the gavel over to Rep.
