Nothing's happened yet, the deadline is still a couple of weeks away. The Republicans are being incredibly stubborn about this. Hopefully they will come to some agreement. And sure what they are doing might be spinelessly selfish or cruelly selfish, but you don't have to use those words. As they say on the internet, "thems fighting words!". You just get people's backs up and then they wouldn't even listen to what you say because they have already decided to oppose whatever you say.

Actually, I agree; granting the Republicans demands does make him partly culpable.

Republicans didn't just "support" tax cuts: They demanded them then and won't relinquish them now.
