I am very surprised to see McConnell fold this early
Agreed. What's the angle I wonder?
$700 billion is only about enough to let this last until the middle of the primary season. Maybe until early April if it has been timed right.
So wait... we won? Or?? Because if this happens it sounds like we won...
An extension that lasts until where people might not get their income tax refunds in the middle of the year is not a win. Indeed, if Obama goes along with this, he'd be caving from his previously stated position against a short term punt.
