Outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., insists that "history is going to be very good to this majority." Oddly, he posits that the tax plan will be the main reason for the anticipated rave reviews, although he also says a major regret was the debt, which the tax cuts expanded. Umm, that's the best part of his legacy?
He also regrets not achieving immigration reform, but it was he and his fellow Republicans who refused to take up the Gang of Eight bill that passed the Senate overwhelmingly in 2013, and it was Ryan who would not put on the floor a bipartisan compromise on the "dreamers" that would have passed the House.
