ADEL, Iowa (AP) — Republican vice presidential contender Paul Ryan says America is "a country in decline" because of national debt piling up under President Barack Obama.
Ryan campaigned Wednesday in Adel, Iowa. He reminded supporters that the national debt surpassed $16 trillion this week on the first day of the Democratic National Convention.
Ryan blames Obama for what he calls "a gusher of spending." He says there will be "a lot of talk" at the Democratic convention, but no new solutions.
