MILWAUKEE — Congressman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Monday he has ruled out running for president in 2012, squelching speculation he might make a late jump into a shifting Republican field.
"I sincerely appreciate the support from those eager to chart a brighter future for the next generation. While humbled by the encouragement, I have not changed my mind, and therefore I am not seeking our party’s nomination for president," Ryan said in a statement.

House Budget Committee Hearing: State of the Highway Trust Fund: Long-Term Solutions for Solvency "Welcome, everybody. I want to thank our witnesses for agreeing to testify. We appreciate your taking the time to share your expertise.
"Infrastructure is an important part of our economy. Government plays a role in our public infrastructure—our highways, our roads, our bridges. But the federal government is neglecting this responsibility. It’s spending record levels of taxpayer dollars. And it’s not spending them wisely. In fact, it recently abandoned a key principle: that we limit highway spending to what people pay to drive on them.
"The Highway Trust Fund is broke. This problem has been building for years. In the 90s, Congress set a floor on spending. But it didn’t set a ceiling. So the gap between spending and revenue continued to grow—on average, by $1 billion a year over the last decade—while gas-tax receipts stalled. In the next decade, the CBO anticipates the gap to widen. It expects the Highway Trust Fund to run annual cash deficits of $13 to $14 billi
