    EXCERPT:

    RYAN: "By the way, economic growth is one of the critical ingredients to getting the debt under control. The military is not the reason we have fiscal problems, it is entitlements. That’s why I keep telling you. The budget we passed this last year was the best — the biggest, the most conservative budget Congress has ever passed. Something like $7.4 trillion in spending. So we have shown as House Republicans what you need to do to fully deal with this debt crisis. It is entitlement reform. We have more work to do with all of our friends on the other side of the aisle and the other side of the rotunda."
