Fiscal Cliff

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has Republican House Speaker John Boehner in his crosshairs and he’s firing with both barrels.

Lawmakers from Trenton to Washington are reacting angrily to the House Republican leadership decision to allow the current term of Congress to end without holding a vote on aid for victims of Superstorm Sandy.

The tax package negotiated by President Barack Obama and Senate Republicans and passed by Congress will protect 99 percent of Americans from an income tax increase.

Legislation to block the "fiscal cliff" is headed to the White House for President Barack Obama's signature.

The No. 2 Republican in the House leadership says he opposes a Senate-passed measure to avert the so-called fiscal cliff.

Legislation to negate a fiscal cliff of across-the-board tax increases and sweeping spending cuts to the Pentagon and domestic agencies is headed to the House today but the fiscal cliff is not yet completely resolved.

Highlights of a bill approved Tuesday by the Senate aimed at averting wide tax increases and budget cuts scheduled to take effect in the new year.

Racing the clock, the White House reached a New Year's Eve accord with Senate Republicans late Monday to neutralize across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts in government programs due to take effect at midnight, according to administration and Senate Democratic officials.

The House will miss the midnight Monday deadline lawmakers set for voting to avoid the "fiscal cliff."

President Barack Obama says it appears that an agreement to avoid the fiscal cliff is "in sight," but says it's not yet complete and work continues.
