5 REAL REASONS FOR THE RUSH
Here are the five reasons Democrats say history won't wait:
1) Legislation is about momentum. If the latest compromise is allowed to languish over Christmas, it could fall apart. And if the process stops, it may never start again.
2) A sense of urgency: Lawmakers only make hard choices with their backs up against a wall. Big votes are almost always jammed up against a deadline for getting out of town.
3) Pres. Obama and congressional Democrats ran on competence, and they need to get this done. It’s getting embarrassing after eight months of maneuvering.
4) The White House and Democratic leaders want to pivot to Jobs and Deficit reduction with Obama’s State of the Union address, in late January or early February.
5) It’s going to take some time to unify the House and Senate bills, anyway. If the Senate isn’t finished with its version, the process could drag on for months longer.
