Have cut in spending is as imp as tax revenue. It is a balancing act.

All these news about fiscal cliff seemed to be digested by market already ?

House approves Senate's fiscal cliff deal

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/01/01/politi...?hpt=hp_t1

The U.S. House of Representatives approves fiscal cliff deal, surpassing the 217 votes needed for passage. The final breakdown is 257 in support and 167 in opposition.

Just as expected...

The moment the House rejected the option of having amendments to spending cuts, it is expected that they would approve the option of adopting the Senate deal wholesale. Smile

The cliff is not over yet. Markets need time to digest the headlines. The bill is mainly about taxes. The fiscal spending is pushed to end Feb together with the debt ceiling debate. Mark that date Smile

Somehow the US always seems to come up with something to save ther skins. I call it "delayed doomsday" - not solving the problems, simply postponing them.

If the deal to increase debt limit is delayed, the US will get its credit rating downgraded again. There will come a time when debtors feel enough is enough.
