Senate Democrats are not interested in cutting a short-term deal with Republicans to delay the fiscal cliff, a keyed-in aide told TPM, amid rumblings that such an option may be on the table to delay the impact of the fiscal cliff.
“We’re not interested in a short-term deal because [we’re] not kicking the can down the road again,” said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity because negotiations are ongoing.
President Obama will discuss options with the top four congressional leaders in a high-stakes White House meeting Friday afternoon at 3 p.m.
