Up Next...Paul Ryan gives GOP Response

From Gateway Pundit:

9:24 PM (26 minutes ago)Up Next… Paul Ryan Gives GOP Responsefrom Gateway Pundit by Jim HoftFollow here at Prosperity Project.




Here is the full GOP Response.



Let’s face it. Ryan is presidential.



The facts are clear: Since taking office, President Obama has signed into law spending increases of nearly 25% for domestic government agencies – an 84% increase when you include the failed stimulus.



All of this new government spending was sold as “investment.” Yet after two years, the unemployment rate remains above 9% and government has added over $3 trillion to our debt.



Then the President and his party made matters even worse, by creating a new open-ended health care entitlement.



What we already know about the President’s health care law is this: Costs are going up, premiums are rising, and millions of people will lose the coverage they currently have. Job creation is being stifled by all of its taxes, penalties, mandates and fees.



Businesses and unions from around the country are asking the Obama Administration for waivers from the mandates. Washington should not be in the business of picking winners and losers. The President mentioned the need for regulatory reform to ease the burden on American businesses. We agree – and we think his health care law would be a great place to start.



Last week, House Republicans voted for a full repeal of this law, as we pledged to do, and we will work to replace it with fiscally responsible, patient-centered reforms that actually reduce costs and expand coverage.



Health care spending is driving the explosive growth of our debt. And the President’s law is accelerating our country toward bankruptcy.




Our debt is out of control. What was a fiscal challenge is now a fiscal crisis.



We cannot deny it; instead we must, as Americans, confront it responsibly.
