Congressional Republicans could summit the tax reform peak next week – and then plummet into a government shutdown pit two days later.
That could, in turn, drain the verve out of Republicans’ tax cut victory lap, instead forcing them to endure the specter of a Christmas-time government freeze.
You’ll pardon the whiplash.
Congress sidestepped a shutdown late last week with an interim spending measure that simply re-upped all old funding. But there’s little agreement over how to fund the government beyond 11:59:59 p.m. on Dec. 22. Many lawmakers from both sides won’t abide another stopgap spending package. Bipartisan delegations from Texas, Florida and California are demanding leaders attach tens of billions of dollars in disaster aid to the plan. Republicans wonder if they can pass a bill on their own.
