1. Here are my December/January predictions for Congress. There's a lot going on. The tax bill will pass before Christmas. This genuinely surprises me. I didn't think there was any way they could get such a large bill together and through both chambers this year, given how late they started. There's a chance it still falls apart coming out of the conference---Senator Rubio used his leverage to demand changes yesterday and you could always get a revolt in the House---but my hunch is that it is going to pass. It just feels like everyone wants to get to yes.
