"President Trump appears to want to accomplish bringing jobs back to the U.S. by jaw-boning manufacturers that sell in the United States to build their products in the United States, lowering tax rates and imposing tariffs where manufacturing is done offshore."

Trump has indicated the "Stop the offshoring act" which would apply tariffs to imports would be in his first 100 days. The jawboning is just to let companies know what's coming. No point in letting them making bad decisions.

Congressman Ryan appears to want to accomplish the same results by essentially building tariffs into the Internal Revenue Code and indirectly achieving what appears to be a tax on all imports.

Ryan is an idiot. He has voiced opposition to tariffs. Not sure how you build an indirect tariff into the IRS code. Did I mention Ryan is an idiot?

You can’t trust Ryan. As everyone knows he likes to run his mouth about small government and controlling debt. But, he is a TARPer and avid supporter of government increases, ie auto bailouts, pat act, medicare part d, amnesty, no child left behind, bush/obama budgets.
