Paul Ryan on the urgent need to tackle jobs deficit, budget deficit & leadership deficit

Washington's policies over the last two years that have given us this slow economic growth -- enormous tax uncertainty, enormous regulatory uncertainty because of health care and financial laws, and enormous debt uncertainty. 

President Obama inherited a difficult situation - no two ways about it. What he's done since then is to make matters worse, not better. The economic policies that the President has pushed through Congress into law have made this recovery harder to sustain itself - his policies are why we have very anemic economic growth today.

Revenues should grow by growing the economy -- and raising tax rates hurts economic growth.
