It's only till December. That's short term. If he's able to leverage a deal on taxes than we can really get the economy going which is what's going to have to happen first if the debt issue will ever be addressed. Which is the long term strategy.


Or would you rather see the republicans in congress fight the same old government shutdown battle over the debt ceiling that they've showed repeatedly they cannot win?

So that's what this is? Trump promising concessions to the Dems on future tax reform that will "really get the economy going" (but magically not blow up deficits) in exchange for their support now?
