Tim Ryan in ABC This Week interviews during 2019


On Corporations: We need an industrial policy: government involved in process

We need an industrial policy. We need to sit down with the business community, we need to sit down with the educational community and use the tax code and figure out how we rebuild the industrial base. There's plenty of opportunities out there. Take electric vehicles. It's the president who needs to convene, sit down with the big three, sit down with the Department of Energy, put a big plan together and then cut the workers in on the deal so they could actually make a middle-class wage.

On Energy & Oil: Green New Deal means manufacturing jobs

I support a Green New Deal. We've got to reverse what's happening with our climate, and that could mean jobs in places like Youngstown, Ohio, and the industrial Midwest because there's so much that needs to be manufactured. An agenda that can both reverse global warming and climate change and create manufacturing jobs is something I'm going to support.

On Health Care: Prevention should be key focus

75% of health care costs today come from chronic diseases that are actually preventable. We need to completely transform our health care system where we're incentivizing doctors and patients and health care providers to keep people healthy. We just don't want health care for people when they get sick, of course we want that, we want a health care system that actually keeps people healthy, and that's the transformational approach I'm going to take.

On Jobs: Rebuild the middle class: just getting by not enough

My campaign and my behavior as president is going to be to rebuild the middle class in the United States. People are tired of just getting by. They're tired of just surviving. They want to thrive. They want their kids to thrive. We've got to stop talking about the minimums, we got to figure out how we create an economy in health care, in energy, within manufacturing, where people can make $30, $40, $50 bucks an hour, that's the American dream. We've got to rebuild it.
