Young Guns, by Rep. Paul Ryan, Rep. Eric Cantor & Rep. Kevin McCarthy: on Free Trade


Eric Cantor: Entrepreneurship, free markets, & level playing field

This time in the minority has given us all a chance to remember why we came here. It's given us the chance--especially in comparison with what the Democrats are doing--to see what has worked in this country, which is entrepreneurship. Free markets, and a level playing field. We need to refocus our party toward the future and the young people. It's up to us to provide them with more opportunity. I hear it again and again when I go home. Right now kids are getting out of college and they're not finding jobs. So if we reclaim the majority in November, we must, first of all, tell the public what they can expect from us. And we also have to realize that this isn't going to be a one- or two-year process. We have got to rebuild the public's trust through taking concrete steps to get our fiscal house in order. We have to show that we get it. Clearly the other side has demonstrated that they don't get where the public is. We've got to reconnect and inspire people.
