Paul Ryan: This is the moment to fix America

The Right Scoop

His main point is put forth in a question he asks:

[The 2008 financial] crisis caught us by surprise. It was unpredictable – we didn’t see it coming.

Let me ask you this.

What if your President and your member of Congress saw it coming? What if they knew why it was happening, when it was going to happen, and more importantly they knew what to do to stop it and they had time to stop it but they didn’t, because of politics?

What would you think of that person?

Mr. Chairman that is where we are right now. This is the most predictable economic crisis we’ve ever had in the history of this country. And yet, we have a President who is unwilling to lead. We have too many politicians worried about the next election and not worried about the next generation.
