Hill leaders take first steps to prevent year-end shutdown. - Page 2

Repubs want an extension because they need more time to gather their votes and screw us over. Dems shouldn't agree to it, but they probably will.

It would be dumb of the Democrats to agree to it. It's only giving Republicans more time to pass Tax Reform which is being rammed through without any Democrat support. Republicans made the decision of focusing on tax reform instead of the spending bill. It's time for them to pay for it. If they let the government shutdown then the Republicans will have to be full focused on the spending bill. If they agree to a extension at least get something out of it.

Watch...If extension does go through, Republicans will spend all of mid Dec trying to get tax reform through and try to bullshit that they don't have enough time for spending bill and need another extension.
