Fiscal Cliff Response

 The Fiscal Cliff is a deal in which the taxes is being raised, basically adding more tax to workers and getting the rich people richer. It comes into effect on jan. 1,2013; 12 AM. The democrats believe that the government should just fix other problems first them just raising the taxes to fix the debt ceiling. The Repubics on the other hand are agreeing to pay higher taves. They think that it might help the government get better and if they didnt take sooner actions, we will be in a bigger debt by the middle of the year.

I found my information by going onto google. When i got onto google in the search bar i put :
- "republic postion" on the fiscal cliff
-Information on the fiscal cliff
-"democrats" position on the fiscal cliff
I also used the search tool to help me find the most current post. I went to the search took and changed the time on the post.
