Ironically, a lot of GOP donors are complaining about elements of the bill as written. =>https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/928644450984787969 …
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.
-
the 26th Amendment to the Constitution was passed by Congress & ratified by the states in under 6 months. is that different too or maybe is the problem with our office holders and not with "the system"?
-
Maybe you got me there. But I'd say the exception proves the rule. How long did tax reform take last time, in 86?

plus, tbh, i would like to think they'll get more than a tax cut done next year. why take 3 or 4 months to do it, knowing there's literally 200 more bills waiting behind it?
