Paul Ryan Will Give GOP's State Of The Union Response

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will deliver the Republican response to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address next week.

“Paul Ryan is uniquely qualified to address the state of our economy and the fiscal challenges that face our country,” House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said in a statement released Friday. “We’re broke, and decisive action is needed to help our economy get back to creating jobs and end the spending binge in Washington that threatens our children’s future.”

Ryan is the Chairman of the House Budget Committee.

The State of the Union address is scheduled for next Wednesday.
