MADISON, Wis. (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan says the biggest obstacle to passing a Republican-authored federal tax overhaul plan is the GOP-controlled Senate because of its narrow majority. But Ryan said Monday he believes Congress will “nail the landing at the end of the year” and pass the $6 trillion tax overhaul package. Ryan made his comments at a meeting of the Wisconsin state chamber of commerce. The Wisconsin Republican says the tax overhaul is “better wired for success” than the failed health care proposal because Republicans in the Senate and House “more or less agree on this on how it should go.” He says, “We spent four months negotiating with the Senate and the White House” and he’s “bullish” it will get done this year.
