Paul Ryan: “I notice the gentleman is here talking about how a lot of the money coming to Washington through our Federal tax dollars…”

“I notice the gentleman is here talking about how a lot of the money coming to Washington through our Federal tax dollars is getting wasted, it is getting misappropriated, there is actual fraud involved. So I thought that would be a fitting topic to discuss, what is the future? As we go into this coming election, it is very important, as we look at the waste, the fraud and the abuse, of how our taxpayer dollars are being spent here in Washington, it is important to take a look at what our two Presidential candidates are proposing with respect to spending the surplus from now for the next decade when they actually are in the oval office. I think it is important that we note, there is a huge surplus. It is not just a Social Security surplus. We have a giant non-Social Security surplus, almost over $5 trillion, coming into Washington over the next 10 years. As we take a look at this surplus, we are going back to our districts, talking to our constituents. When I go home to Wisconsin, my constituents tell me, first pay off the national debt, stop raiding the Social Security trust fund, fix the problems we have with Medicare, and if we are still overpaying our taxes, make sure we can have some of our money back, rather than spending it on new money in Washington.”
