The only reason that a year long bill was not passed was because the Republicans wanted to add a bunch of non-related items to the bill. This is something both parties are known to do.
They got the pipeline, declared victory, passed the two-month extension and then the House Republicans seemed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
That is the way it seems to be playing out at this stage of the game.
Permanent? No, no a thousand times no.
