tax cuts take time to be felt in the economy. it makes a huge difference if they pass them today or in August of next year. also, the longer it takes them to do the no-brainer stuff, the more emboldened the Dems will become about bucking them on the hard stuff

I wasn't thinking August, just December or January. At this point the politics of delaying till next summer would be bad.

if they dont do taxes til Feb, when will they do Ocare? by Oct? so then no wall, no infrastructure all all til 2019? they have made a total mess of this

Part of it is our system. Not designed to allow for fast legislating. Ocare took more than a year of diligent legislating, just as an IE of partisan big bill

if you want a concrete example, the Patriot Act was introduced on Oct 23rd, 2001 & signed into law on Oct 26th. Declaration of War on Japan after Pearl Harbor passed both houses & was law in under 4 hours

National security/war response not the same as domestic policy. Life and death urgency much different.
-
Congress passed a law in under a week in response to the Terry Schiavo case, iirc, if you want a domestic example.
-
Major policy is different.
