Rinocare is dead unless Trump fixes it MAJOR!!!Too much socialism!!!! Trump should have done the Bill and gotten Paul RINO out of the way!! BIG MISTAKE!!

Border Tax Adjustability is the way to go! This how we add an import tax to goods from China, Mexico, Japan and Germany.
It will encourage American companies to manufacturer in the US.
Plus it will pave the way for Trump to win the rust belt again in 2020 and govern for 8 years.
And balance trade properly. And bring military critical manufacturing back to US soil.
And provide living wages - properly - rather than through government mandate which does nothing but cause market distortions and long term poverty.
Wendle, I can agree with you, but how do you achieve that?
If Trump would have waltzed into Congress and laid down a ‘take it or leave it’ plan, I think Congress would have said no thanks.
If he seems to support this plan and it falters, he can come back with a better plan and not seem like he didn’t honor the House plan when it was on the table.
Then he hasn’t made enemies, and his plan can get a better fair shake.
I’m hoping we wind up with something like the Paul plan. It makes more sense to folks here. It seems to to the Conservatives in the House.
The Senate, who knows.
I don’t know what Trump really has on his mind here. Does he really want this, or is he posturing? I hope he’s posturing. If he isn’t, I won’t be very happy about it.
I want all of Obamacare repealed. The Ryan plan doesn’t do that. I’m not convinced it ever does, and holding off parts of it until years down the road is as flawed an idea as Obamacare was.
At this point it’s out of my hands. I’ll have to wait and see what happens. Then I’ll complain or congratulate.
Ryan deserves to go down in flames in any other attempt to continue his political career.
Beware the VAT. The Value Added Tax is how Europe tries to pay for all it’s Socialism. It is charged, at every step, in manufacturing and the consumer is the one who ends up paying more. Does anyone think that the border tax won’t be passed on to the consumer??? The companies will not be suffering......we, The People, will be the ones who have to pay, in the end.
Can we please get rid of RINO Ryan already?? Sheesh
Why is Paul Ryan shaping policy on Obamacare reform (instead of repeal) and now tax reform? Ryan is not the president - he’s the House Speaker, and his job is to fall in line with Trump’s policies and deliver votes for the legislation Trump wants, not the legislation Paul Ryan and former Kerry advisers want.

My thoughts exactly. Excuse my French but WTF is going on?
Easiest way of doing that is eliminating the current income and corporate tax code and replacing it with a national sales tax. Everything and everyone would pay the same rate. Imports and domestic production would be charged the same tax rate and exports would be untaxed so they wouldn't get the double tax of US income tax followed by a foreign VAT tax.
But the elimination of the current tax code would eliminate the largest source of graft in Congress, so I don't see it happening.
No to Ryan Care.
Thanks, MarvinStinson.

Ryan is an evil puppet of the NWO...who wants the US Constitution destroyed. He needs to be gone!!! He is so evil, not unlike the alleged pedophile child-trafficker, Priebus. Pence is suspect also since the Flynn event revealed his best friend is a pedophile. Birds of a Feather flock together. The Pedo-ring—established by the Bush CIA inside the White House in 80s is still not disbanded. It has been stated that 1/3 (at least) of the Congress are pedophiles-—and that doesn’t include the “justices” who are the facilitators of the sodomy crowd to normalize vice in our culture-—to wipe our virtue and Christian ethics in children.
Only virtuous people can be free and create a civil society. Vice breeds vice and tears down cultures and destroys freedom. Just Laws are null and void if they promote vice since it will destroy virtue formation in children raised in a toxic culture.
I don’t think that Dr. Jonathan Gruber, the author of unconstitutional Obamacare, was ever up to speed with Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, regulating, taxing and spending for INTRAstate healthcare purposes not among those express powers.
And I suspect that Dr. Auerbach doesn’t know any more about Congress’s limited powers than Dr. Gruber does.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons [emphasis added], our property, our reputation and religious freedom.” —Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." -Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract [emphases added] of indemnity against loss.” —Paul v. Virginia, 1869. (The corrupt feds have no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate insurance.)
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
I heard some analysts say that a border adjustment tax would be a more powerful stimulus to the US domestic economy than lowering tax rates, de-regulation, or the repatriation of corporate earnings held overseas.
If we enact all of those policies, it is off to the races - Reagan style growth.
