Paul Ryan to insist on permanent tax reform

House Speaker Paul Ryan will argue Tuesday that Republicans should enact permanent tax reform instead of a temporary tax cut, but will also suggest that he is open to alternatives to his proposed border-adjusted tax.

“We are going to get this done in 2017. We need to get this done in 2017,” Ryan will say in his remarks to the National Association of Manufacturers on GOP plans to introduce and pass a joint tax bill this fall. “We cannot let this once-in-a-generation moment slip.”
