Political Quotes

“Mr. Ryan, I thank you so very much for joining us this evening. We're still the strongest, best country in the world. There's no other place like America. And if we begin acting like we can and are a strong, robust, building, growing, dynamic country instead of being weak and pulling ourselves back and saying, Oh, we can't do it; we can't do it--no, we can do it. We can build. We can invest. Every time we invest a dollar in infrastructure, we put Americans back to work and we give them an opportunity to take care of their family, to stay in their home, to provide for their children's education. When we do that, we create the foundation for future economic growth, whether it's education or research or building the infrastructure and making it in America. As we do these things, this agenda is the American agenda, the one that created this country. As you so well said when you opened here: It's the American history. It's there before us. We can do it. We must do it. We owe it to the American people. Mr. Ryan, thank you. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________”
