Paul Ryan on Obama Era: ‘Progressives Deliver Everything Except Progress’

RYAN: "From now until November, we will hear how many different ways Progressive elitists can find to talk down to the rest of America, to tell the voters that the Obama years have been good for you, that you should be grateful and well, now it’s Hillary’s turn. The problem is really simple. The problem here is very simple. There is a reason people in our country are disappointed and restless. If opportunity seems like it’s been slipping away, that’s because it has. And liberal Progressive ideas have done exactly nothing to help. Wages never seem to go up. The whole economy feels stuck and millions of Americans, millions of Americans, middle class security is now just a memory. Progressives like to talk like our president like to talk forever about poverty in America and if high-sounding talk did any good, we would have overcome those deep problems long ago. This explains why under the most liberal president we have had so far, poverty in America is worse, especially for our fellow citizens who are promised better and who need it most. The result is a record of discarded promises, empty gestures, phony straw men arguments, reforms put off forever, shady power plays like the one that gave us ObamaCare, constitutional limits brushed off as nothing and all the while, dangers in the world downplayed even as the threats grow bolder and come closer. It’s the last chapter of an old story. Progressives deliver everything except progress."
