CPAC 2013 - Paul Ryan

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI), vice-presidential candidate on the 2012 Republican ticket, understandably made budget proposals the focus of his speech at the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference.

They are the party of shared hardship. We are the party of equal opportunity.

I’m proud of our budget, because it’s changed the conversation. Today, we are not talking about cliffs or ceilings or sequesters. We’re talking about solutions. And that’s how it should be. Our budget expands opportunity by growing the economy. It strengthens the safety net by retooling government. And it restores fairness by ending cronyism. And by setting priorities, and choosing wisely, we have a plan to pay off our debt. In fact, we balance the budget in ten years, without raising taxes. How do we do this? You know, it’s really pretty simple. We stop spending money we don’t have.
