Paul Ryan: ‘I’m Going To Make That Decision In 2015’

Posted by | August 23, 2014 07:03 | Filed under: Politics Radio Interviews Top Stories


Former Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan came on radio with me Friday night to talk about his new book, the kind of book, I said, one writes when you’re running for president.

COLMES: This sounds like the kind of book you write just before you announce for President…I’d like to give you the opportunity now to make that announcement.
RYAN: Hey! That’s so kind of you, so big of you Alan.
COLMES: You got to be looking at 2016, right?
RYAN: No, I am. I’m going to make that decision in 2015.

We argued over policy, mostly health care, and his contention that Obamacare is a takeover of one-sixth of the economy.  He argued for a free market approach and admitted he didn’t agree with Mitt Romney on health care policy, when I drew a parallel between Romneycare and Obamacare. I argued that the Affordable Care Act creates markets in those states that participate. He also discussed where he believes the Republican Party has gone wrong.

    Of course he’s running, he’s just trying to be coy for publicity. “Will he, won’t he?”

    He has to run. Poverty is up in America and all those poor people have to be punished.

    Ryan was left off the limelight toward the latter part of Romney’s campaign. His policies are ludicrous and he doesn’t accept facts about working poverty, etc. He simply thinks hard work is limited to executives, and the educated. Our working poverty level has increased and with people like Ryan in office it will get worse.
