Speaker Paul Ryan laments ‘broken politics’ in farewell address
More than perhaps any other individual, this sorry prick is to blame for losing the House. He made sure Obamacare survived and the wall will not be built. To think he was the VP candidate in 2012. He can now retire to a seven figure job as a lobbyist.
Ryan’s departure also comes six weeks after an Election Day that saw Democrats capture House control. Their triumph followed a campaign in which they battered Republicans for trying to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law, a primary GOP priority, and for their alliance with Trump.
“The House will become the care of a new majority, and what I know will be a spirited Republican minority. I wish our next leaders well,” he said. “It is precisely because all of this is so momentary … it is because you are just a small part of history, that you are inspired to do big things. On this score, we have achieved a great deal.”
Under Ryan, Congress approved the biggest tax cuts in decades, boosted defense spending and rolled back Obama regulations protecting clean air and water. But annual federal deficits are surging, Medicare and other expensive entitlement programs are growing and their attempt to scuttle Obama’s health care statute crashed.
