While the Hill is honed in on tax reform, there is also that pesky little problem of keeping the government funded. The problem is, time's a ticking. Congress has until December 8 to pass some sort of spending bill or a short-term fix.
The Big Four in Congress ... Speaker Paul Ryan, [Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell in the Senate, the Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, are quietly sort of negotiating a year-end spending deal," Bade reports.
"They are running out of time and they're terribly far apart right now, with Democrats still pushing for a DACA fix and a solution for Dreamers. Republicans are worried that if they increase spending without offsets and do a DACA fix that the far right is going to totally go off the rails."
