"Fiscal Cliff Response"

The Democratic positions towards the "Fiscal Cliff" is saying that they wanted to continue the long term unemployment for the end of the year. The Democrats had set the tax level lower than the Republicans, $450,000 for the couples and $360,000 for the single households. They are saying that Republicans will raise taxes when the white house has approved about the "debt ceiling".
The Republican positions towards the "Fiscal Cliff" is explaining that they will not cooperate with letting the government borrow money unless they spend cuts so that it helps attack the debt problem in our society. The Republicans are willing to raise taxes on wealthier households and they decided to push the taxable income to $550,000 for couples and $450,000 for single households. By giving on Bush cuts about $250,000 income, the Republicans think that they will be able to gain the "debt ceiling".

In my research towards the "Fiscal Cliff" i used special techniques that helped me find what i was searching for. According to what i put on the search bar is what usually comes up. But if you want to find exact details about your topic then you will need to be more specific on what you type, in order to accomplish your research. The most helpful websites were the ones that were recently posted up in January. The ones that were posted in December or November were helpful but didn't mention that much information.

  1. You're still pretty unclear on the whole Fiscal Cliff issue, though you did learn about some of the ideas that were in play. Also, you are very unspecific about what tools exactly you used to search.
