Rep. Paul Ryan Discusses Obama's Nationalizing U.S. Economy

摘要

[...] in England it's called me National Institute of Comparative Effectiveness, otherwise known as NICE. [laughter] You can't make this stuff up. At the end of the day this is what I call a wholesale replacement of the American system of government, of the American ideal where we equalize opportunity for individuals, but have a limited government, a free-enterprise system, dominated by self-determination and liberty and freedom and we replace it with the European notion of equalizing the results of people's lives. A new layer of progressive policies layered on top that they're going to have to fund with much more taxes than they're even articulating right now, new benefits, mandates and entitlements, and at the end of this administration the size of our government will be appreciably higher, much higher than it ever has been and it will require much higher levels of taxation, will have inflexible labor markets, will have whole sectors of our economy micromanaged or effectively nationalized by the federal government and we will be a stagnant economy.
