‘Fiscal Cliff’ Deal In Jeopardy As Republicans Demand Spending Cuts

January 1st, 2013 4:11 pm Henry Decker

The Republican majority in the House of Representatives is reportedly preparing to reject the Senate bill to avoid the so-called “fiscal cliff,” in a move that could devastate the economy.

House Republicans met for hours Tuesday afternoon to discuss the Senate’s compromise bill, which passed Monday night by an overwhelming 89-8 margin. The Senate bill would renew tax cuts — which expired at midnight Tuesday — on all incomes under $400,000 for single filers and incomes under $450,000 for joint filers. Additionally, the Senate bill includes a one-year extension of unemployment insurance, and a two-month delay of the sequestration budget cuts.

Politico has reported that House Republicans are “overwhelmingly” opposed to the Senate bill due to its lack of spending cuts, and the fact that it delays the sequestration cuts. According to the report, it is “nearly certain” that House Republicans will amend the bill to add more spending cuts, and send it back to the Senate.

House Speaker John Boehner has not indicated whether he will ultimately support the measure, but in a statement released by his office, he and Majority Leader Eric Cantor warned that “The lack of spending cuts in the Senate bill was a universal concern among members in today’s meeting.”

Cantor has flatly rejected the deal, telling reporters outside the meeting, “I do not support the bill.” Several other congressmen, including California Rep. Darrell Issa, Kansas Rep. Tim Hueslkamp, and Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, have also spoken out in opposition.

As of 4pm, no vote had been scheduled on the Senate compromise. Republicans are scheduled to meet again early Tuesday evening; depending on the outcome of that meeting, the House may not vote at all on Tuesday.

If Republicans do attempt to amend the bill to add more cuts, Boehner will first have to round up 217 votes — which is far from a sure thing, as the speaker found out earlier in December with his failed “plan B.”

Even if Boehner does successfully amend the bill and send it back to the Senate, such a move would likely scuttle the deal. The Senate is extremely unlikely to take up an amended bill after passing their own version nearly unanimously; as one Democratic leadership aide told BuzzFeed’s Rebecca Berg, “We’re done.”

Vice President Joe Biden, who negotiated the terms of the Senate bill with Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, met with House Democrats on Capitol Hill today in a separate meeting. As he left, Biden sounded cautiously optimistic that the deal would pass in the House of Representatives.

“I never predict anything about what the Congress can do. I feel good though,” Biden said. That was before the Republican meeting concluded and Cantor spoke out in opposition, however.

Of course they object to it, they object to anything that might get some work done, but I try to be optimistic that they will at least come up with something.

Spending cuts are necessary, but trying to come up with effective spending reduction in a couple of hours, after neglecting this issue for a year, is unrealistic. The Senate bill should be put for an up or down vote. Otherwise, we will have to let the automatic tax increases and spending reductions take place, with subsequent impact to the middle class and our economy, and let the new Congress deal with the problem this Congress failed to do.

Spending cut pushes one off the cliff faster. Why don’t you know basic economics. The cliff is too much austerity too fast.

http://www.facebook.com/dominick.vila.1 Dominick Vila

The automatic spending cuts put in place by the GOP as a condition to raise the debt ceiling a year ago are, indeed, an austerity plan that, if implemented, would derail our economic recovery. However, there are ways to reduce Federal government spending without impacting our standard of living, our economy, or our security. The same goes for revenue increases.

Many of our DoD programs are unnecessary considering the fact that the only countries that could pose a challenge to our military, China and Russia, are more interested in improving their standard of living, strengthening their economies, and industrial might than engaging in unnecessary ideological battles. The only use for NATO since the collapse of the Soviet Union is to use it as a demonstration of international consensus when there is often none. Many of our military bases, overseas and at home, have been rendered obsolete by technology and a changing threat to our security. Foreign aid should be limited to humanitarian aid, everything else should be discontinued immediately. The same goes for military aid to other countries. If somebody wants something from us, they should pay for it. Merge agencies with similar charters, such as NASA/NOAA and the CIA/FBI to reduce overhead costs and increase efficiency. Reduce the budget of ALL Federal government departments by 5% effective immediately. A small budgetary reduction will not require layoffs and would not affect efficiency. It would simply force managers to do a better job, reduce things like travel, end of the FY spending sprees to make sure their budgets are not cut the following FY, eliminate intentional vacancies, reduce the civil servant/contractor ratio, etc.

I actually agree with you, the last thing we need is an austerity program, what would make a difference is investment in infrastructure, modernization, R&D and education to stimulate the economy, restore consumer confidence, reduce unemployment costs, increase revenues through higher taxation as a result of lower unemployment, and encourage private sector investment.

Replying to Dominick Vila -

I nearly always agree with you on almost everything you write, but this time I am totally against you on one key point.

I think combining the FBI and the CIA would be disastrous.

The CIA is tasked with security and covert ops outside the United States. They have clear guidelines that must be met in order to efficiently execute their missions.

Combining the CIA with the FBI will blur the line between the operational mission of both agencies.

This is a Pandora’s Box that should NEVER be opened.

Besides, the right wingers would probably see this as a step towards military style attacks against our basic freedoms. (Well, maybe there would be one good thing that would come out of such a merger.)

Otherwise, I am on board with you on everything else.

TZToronto

Is anyone really surprised? The Republicans would rather send the U.S.–and world–economy into recession again than to allow those in need to continue to receive the assistance of the U.S. government–not to mention raising the taxes on the wealthy. The only surprise will be if the House passes anything related to beginning to put the economy back into shape. Help!! We’ve fallen over the cliff, and we can’t climb back up.

onedonewong

You seem to have no compunction about the fact that unborn children each face a debt load of $150,000 when they are born. No rational adult would knowingly saddle their children with that kind of IOU’s,
Those that need assistance from the govt need to start earning it doing community service. Anyone on Unemployment over 26 weeks should be required to do 40 hours of Community service, painting schools , sweeping picking up cigarette butts or emptying bed pans in hospitals

Actually it is more like $47K at the last estimate from the CBO. But who’s counting. BTW, just how would folks empting bed pans help them get jobs. Keep it real please.

Hmmm – so you believe it’s ok to give them benefits if they are volunteering to work rather than actually looking for a real job??? Does that make any sense at all? If they find even a part-time job, it reduces their unemployment by the amount they earn while working. And if they are working part-time – they are paying taxes aren’t they???? Sometimes you republicans amaze me in your thinking – without actually thinking.

montanabill

How dare they even consider wanting spending cuts! This was a ‘tax and spend’ bill. We’ll cut spending right after every single job creator is on welfare.

onedonewong

That’s because W was ‘spending all that dam money”. The $10 Trillion in new debt happened after the Dem’s took over congress in 2007. Think before you make a fool of yourself

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_B6RROC4IUESHT322QS5VJVPYRM Lynda

You need to read the Congressional Record to get some of you facts straight. The Democrates only reach the magic 60 vote level for a very few months in the Senate. Hint, it was in effect a few short months before Mass put Scott into office. Certainly the trillions of additional spending can’t just be blamed on one party so let go the hyperbole and use facts to make your argument.

NCSOUTHERNGENTLEMAN1

You are correct. The Democrats had the 60 votes to expedite legislation in the Senate from July 1, 2009 until January 18, 2010–a relatively brief time. Aside from that time frame, the Republicans could obstruct at will, which they did frequently and at a record pace. Hence, we have now a bipartisan effort at filibuster reform in the Senate.
johninPCFL

That total included independents, which if you’ll recall voted GOP about 40% of the time.
onedonewong

Kennedy croaked in Aug 2009 that was more than a “very few months”

http://www.facebook.com/dominick.vila.1 Dominick Vila

Really? Would you mind enumerating the spending initiatives made by Democrats since 2007 that contributed to a $10T increase in the national debt? With the exception of the stimulus package, which was less than $1T, you are going to have a hard time coming up with specifics.
The recent increases in the debt were caused by moving the cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan crusades from unfunded liabilities to the general budget, where they should have been all along. The effect of the Bush 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. A dramatic decline in revenues and an increase in unemployment payments as a result of the Great Recession. Last, but not least, increases in debt interest payments. The rest was all programmatic. I am anxiously awaiting your response, which I trust will include specific examples of increased spending by Democrats.

BDC_57

He can’t come with an answer just like Romney and Ryan couldn’t.
old_blu

If you’re asking for specifics I think you will just hear crickets.
NCSOUTHERNGENTLEMAN1

He can not find the evidence to support his claim against the Democrats. In 2007 the Republicans controlled the Presidency, with the veto power, and the Senate Democrats did not have the 60 votes to prevent the Republicans from filibustering any legislation the Democrats proposed. The Republicans had the power to thwart and obstruct anything the Democrats proposed.
William Quigley

Dominick, good come back. There are also several unfunded initatives such as “No Child Left Behind”, and a new Department of Homeland Security. The last year of The Clinton Administration the US had a 256 billion dollar surplus and was on track to pay off the national debt in 2007 or there abouts. The last year of G W Bush the US had a 1.2 trillion dollar debt with no prospects of ever paying it off the debt. The republicans have controlled the house the for last two years and all they did was set us for the fiscal cliff.
rpg1408

The first spending cuts should be the salaries and health care benefits of all the members of Congress unwilling to support the (too) generous compromise worked out in the Senate. These idiots won’t be satisfied until the whole damn Ship of State sinks.
onedonewong

green energy, unemployment, and doubling EVERY federal agencies budget EXCEPT DOD
MichaelWVa

Those are not NEW programs — they only continue programs that are already in place – and without those renewals, jobs could be lost and more communities destroyed. e.g. a green energy company depends on the tax breaks and deductions that people get for installing solar panels, in order to encourage their installation, and in order for the green energy companies to survive. Likewise, when an employer shuts-down or has mass layoffs, an entire surrounding community can be destroyed without an opportunity to recover. Unemployment benefits can merely give people an opportunity to continue to exist in a community while the employer attempts to recover or local leaders can recruit a new business to hire the ready workforce. Unemployment benefits aid the local businesses more than they help the worker. Workers can relocate — generally, local businesses cannot.

Bush is a neocon who did Cheney’s bidding.

President Obama is a man doing for the people as best as he can considering the Republican obstructionists and TPiers ideologues.

Annemb

No the $10 trillion debt did not happen “after the Dems took over in 2007.”

The debt is GWBush’s spending – two unpaid wars (on a credit card), M/Care D, the “Bush tax cuts”… which he neglected to include in any budgets. He also “borrowed” from Social Security, didn’t he?

Remember, there was a surplus when he took office in 2000.

Check out the facts!

onedonewong

Turn off MSNBC and the rest of the State run media and do your own research. W inherited a recession from Clinton. And yes the $10Trillion started in 2007. Just like the new Senate deal will add another $4 Trillion to the debt per CBO not to mention the $1 Trillion a year that obamacare adds. In 4 years Barak will add another $10 Trillion to the debt unless the House stops him
Annemb

Oh? Dubya inherited a recession from Clinton? Really? Where did the surplus come from the sky? What about the job growth during the Clinton administration?

What is your source?

BTW – I stand by my post.

johninPCFL

Ah, bullshit. GWBs spending in 2006 added $1T to the national debt, $1.3T in 2007, and $1.8T in 2008. GWB, like your hero Reagan (who added $4T to the debt in his terms) never vetoed a spending bill, so I guess they’re the two most liberal spenders in history. Obama is catching up and will likely pass Reagan this year.

onedonewong

johnney boy I bet the have google in FL try it before posting nonsense

And Obama Spent even more damn money, $5 Trillion is just 4 years.

johninPCFL

He continued the GOP spending patterns of $3.6-$3.8T per year. The difference is that the GWB depression limited the revenues, and GWB didn’t include military spending in his budgets. Net result? 2006 $1T added to debt. 2007 $1.3T added to debt. 2008 $1.8T added to debt. 2009 (GWBs last budget) $1.6T added to debt. 2010 $1.4T added to debt. 2011 $1.1T added to debt.
iowasteve

Forget it John – the morons on the other side have a serious problem – they don’t understand the difference between deficit and debt. Talk about telling someone to Google something. Since Clinton ended with a deficit – this means that Clinton’s years during which his budget was balanced, there was NOTHING more added to debt. Funny how Bush took a deficit and in just a few years turned it into a $1 +T deficit. The debt really is never paid. The reason is that the debt is grown BY THE DEFICIT each year. Which is what John is trying to explain to you. What happened with Bush is that since the spending he was doing was not in the budget, it didn’t grow the debt as fast as it is now, since it needs to be paid and included in a budget to be paid. So, YES, the huge debt right now – IS the result of BUSH more than Obama. Obama now has to include BUSH’s spending which was not included prior OR the BUSH budget would have had even bigger deficits increasing the debt even more. And I’m not sure about the ressesion statement concerning Clinton’s turning over the WH to Bush. I don’t seem to remember that like I did when Bush left office. I was doing pretty well then.

RobertCHastings

You should take your own advice. The Debt was $10T before Obama took the oath of office, and that was with the assistance of GW, his tax cuts for the wealthy, and his endless War on Terror. Just heard today that AIG has paid back $215B, so the stimulus plans were not such a bad idea as this, along with the auto industry and many others, will help reduce the Deficit and the Debt,or do you think the Republicans will find some pork to spend it on, since they write the money bills?

Hey Brainiac Fern, please think without showing your obvious hatred for Bush & Republicans. Even with the 911 attacks, Katrina, and tax cuts, the spending under Bush was half of what Obama spent in just 4 years. BO promised to cut our debt in half and have unemployment down to 5.6% when he doubled the debt to 17Trillion AND kept unemployment over 8% for 43 straight months, two wonderful NEW records.

unemployemnt, green energy tax credits, and a host of others. Even CBO has said this deal ADDDDDDS $4 Trillion to the dbt

http://www.facebook.com/dominick.vila.1 Dominick Vila

The $62B a year increase in revenues will be used to reduce the deficit. The Senate bill simply extended resolution of the spending reduction plan two months to give everyone time to come up with viable options to achieve that goal without impacting the economy, our standard of living and national security.
The size of government, as it pertains to civil servant population, is at its lowest point in decades. Social Security, MEDICARE and MEDICAID have not been expanded. The proposed expansion of MEDICAID needed to implement ACA is scheduled to take place in 2014 and has absolutely nothing to do with the current budget.

onedonewong

There is no plan to reduce spending the $62B is to used for Unemployment benefits, and green energy tax credits if you read the analysis by CBO. They said the deal will ADDDDDD $4 trillion to the debt OVER and above current red ink budgeting

The Republican party has become a national and global embarrassment. A party that has simply decided that the only answer to any bill or idea that is not theirs is “NO!”, has no reason to be in office. If these egotistical nitwits and nimrods don’t consider the citzens of this country, they better not expect much in the 2014 election. Grow the hell up, act like elected representatives, get down to business as reasonable adults or get out of Washington and go home to your playpen.
The country is fed up with this unrelenting childish behavior!

Surprise, surprise, surprise. The house republicans passed their responsibilites to the senate. The senate comes up with a bill that both republicans & democrats don’t like but they pass it anyway. Boehner said that if the senate passes a bill the house would vote on it. Now they won’t even bring it to the floor for an up or down vote.

The far-right of Repugs in Congress care only about two things: 1. Their reelection vis-a-vis fear of being “primaried” in 2014 by even more extremists. 2. Detesting anything related to government assistance to the less-fortunate. The irony is that most of their constituents are white middle class who will be hurt by their elected representatives. However, these are the morons that voted them in as their bigotry was a greater influence on them than pragmatism. Sad.

You’ve forgotten what got us to the $16 trillion level haven’t you. Why is the question when the facts are in your face? When the last Bush budget was over the debt level was over $11 trillion or have you decided that only funding since counts? Keep it real and put aside your fear, hate and distrust for it clouds judgement.

No I know exactly what got us here. The dems took over congress in 2007 and then managed to add the $10 Trillion to the deficit and the “new” deal that the Senate just passed will add another $4 trillion per CBO

14 of thee Current members on Congress have been in office more then thirty six years.
They have absolutely no idea what it’s like trying to survive in the current economy that they’ve been destroying for years because of the all the “ego, power trip, control freak” games they’ve been playing
They don’t elect themselves.
Almost 1/3 of the National Debt is interest. It’s not because of piS###g away money now.
It’s because of what they’ve already done. Cutting the spending, needs to be a major part of it, the interest STILL has to be dealt with. Just enough to start lowering it, even if it’s only by a couple of thousand dollars. The longer it gets jerked around, it not only gets bigger, it grows faster

KEEPING IT THOUGHTFULLY HONEST: So Boehner where are the JOBS as you asked during the election? It is the responsibility of our National Press News to accurately on this “going off the cliff” political hostage issue? FACTCHECK who is conducting the republican clown show in House of Reps.? Publicly name each clown! Everyone is entitled to its own opinions but its own facts! But our Free Press and News needs to responsibly remind everyone including Boehner and his republican clowns of the results of this election. So where are the negotiations on Government stimulus funding to facilitate more American new jobs growth for the middle class? THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH: The republican’s election issue of 10 years of the continued Bush tax cuts for billionaires and millionaires that significantly contributed to our national debt and created new jobs in Communist China lost! Fiscal Responsible Debt Reduction is secondary. The Ryan Plan was defeated- No voucher or cuts for Medicare and leave Social Security alone for now! This is not rocket science! That’s it! The National Press and News stop trying to be politically correct, but responsibly call out the republicans that their “hostage taking obstruction to undermine our economy” and intransigence’s on their unacceptable defeated policies will put them out of the political business! America’s middle Class is fed up with you irresponsible idiots with the past four years of class war on the American Middle Class! The majority of Americans have spoken so deal with the new reality! So where are the jobs?

He knows he can’t get EVERYTHING and so does Obama, yet, he (Bohner) tries his best to negotiate.

The republican party should be ashamed of themselves. All they’re concerned about is keeping the wealthiest from having to pay higher taxes. Guess what? THEY are the only ones that can afford to pay higher taxes. The middle class salaries have been flat and stayed that way for over the last 5 years. We the middle class don’t exist anymore. The republicans want to get that last dime out of what little is left from of the 98%.
http://www.facebook.com/carol.stevenson.3192 Carol Stevenson

I agree -VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE. Damm the republicans—they are for the very rich –not caring about the middle or low class–who pay more in taxes then the wealthy . And it should be the $250,000 not $450,000 that have to pay at higher tax bracket. We need to get our people back to work–build up the nation –work together for the greater good of the people. Stop the “rich get richer” and the poor get poorer.

How can the Republican Congress be so obtuse? Because they have so many tea party knuckleheads in their midst. They don’t understand how you govern, and how many people will be hurt by their intransigence . We can only hope that enough level heads will prevail. Pass the bill so the economy doesn’t take a dive. It’s a decent bill. Don’t let the perfect get in the way of the possible. Other matters will be taken up in the coming months and years.

It’s amazing how these Republican lackeys keep repeating the same old line that raising the taxes on the rich won’t help reduce the Debt much please tell me how the country managed to be in great financial position when the Clinton taxes were inforce and the minute old Bushy Boy lowered the taxes on the rich and the coorperations the country started a downward spiral and it wasn’t until Obama took over that the country started climbing back out of the hole it was in because Reagan’s trickle down wasn’t worth thepaper it was written on. The people that benifited the most, the filthy rich didn’t reinvest they way Reagan said they would, instead they sent it over seas Banks so they wouldn’t have to pay the taxes here in America and these assholes like onedonewong , CannisterCook Lana Ward keep defending these policies even if it affects them, they must be sending their money over sea also, hum!

Will someone on this site please explain what is wrong with Spending Cuts? The entire concept of the Group of 8 was to force Congress to stop Spending us into debt so if they couldn’t agree on Spending cuts, there would be automatic cuts. Obama & most Democrats only want to raise taxes and the debt ceiling “again”. And if they agree to “any” spending cuts, its $41 in new taxes to $1 in Spending cuts. Tell us how that helps our national debt and serious consequences of ignoring this Spending again? Obama consentrates on more taxes on the “sort of wealthy”, and wealthy, but never shows us where he would cut Spending? Let’s be real here.

I hate to burst some people’s bubbles but in the next two months we will see cuts to many of our domestic programs and entitlement programs. This Country was established on the principal of not spending more than our revenue. If situations arose that necessitated borrowing then we made adjustments to domestic programs to off set the debt. This was more or less the standard . Even in WWII with it’s expense our Nation reacted on the home front by rationing foods and amenities in about every area to help offset the debt.
After that time our Nation began acting like an immature teenager with Dad’s credit card.
Thus began the steady upward creep of the National Debt. Between 2001 and 2009 we entered two wars on borrowed money and made no internal adjustments to attempt to offset the cost. The years 2009-2013 saw a continuation because by this time we were in the debt spiral. To even begin to address this problem we need two basics – we need increased revenue (taxes) and we need an increase in good paying jobs in the private sector. and we need to make serious adjustments to our domestic and entitlement programs and our International support programs.

This is not completely the fault of the Republican Party. I would like to lay all the blame there but that can’t be justified. The entire Government for the last 68 years has been culpable in creating this monster with which we now deal.

This is going to be a rough time but we need to work together on both sides of the aisle to achieve any type of solution.
