Congressional Republicans have a narrow window for a huge win: if the House GOP can hang together and agree on a budget resolution with the Senate GOP and President-elect Trump, every employer and employee in America banks an enormous win by the end of February: Extension of the Trump tax cuts.

But the debate among Republicans right now is whether to take the wide gate or the narrow gate. Right now it looks the Congressional GOP is headed towards the wide gate. What a gamble. What a big bet. What an unnecessary risk.

The country’s private sector needs certainty on the tax code. As soon as possible, and as much as possible. Trump wants a second Trump boom —the sort of economy he was presiding over before COVID stalled the world for two years.

It’s all right here for the taking, but the Congressional GOP has grown hesitant to demand of itself the discipline to do it all right now. It’s a big gamble to wait.

The Congressional GOP ought to go for the win. Right now.
