Weve been telling you about the fact that the house has passed the fiscal cliff. If the president will be wasting no time in making a statement. You are looking at the microphones and the prix de rome. He is going to come out and this is consideredhe is expected to come out and make a statement. With house speaker, john boehner. Finally, the vote was put into place. So the automatic tax hikes and spending cuts. You are looking live at the briefing president obama will be making a statement let us listen. At a central promise was to change the tax code that was too skewed towards the wealthy. At the expense of middle class americans. Tonight, we have done that thankyou to the votes, the democrats, the republicans in congress. We will raise taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent of americans. While this could have sent it back into a recession and not having is a bigger impact on americans. I want to thank all of the leaders of the house, the senate and in particular i want to thank the work that was it done by my extraordinary president , joe biden. And as well as harry reed, speaker john boehner, nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell. Everybody worked very hard on this and i appreciate it. Under this law, more than 90 percent of americans and the Small Businesses will not see their income tax co op. Millions of families will receive tax breaks to help raise children and go to college. They will continue to college will continue to receive tax credits and clean energy. 2 million americans that are out of work and out there looking will continue to receive Unemployment Benefits as long as theyre actively looking for a job. But i think that we all recognize that this was just one step in the broader effort to strengthen our economy. And the fact is that the deficit is still too high. We are still investing too little in the things we need for the economy to grow as fast as it should. That is why john boehner and i try to negotiate a larger our agreement to put this country on a path to pay its debt. And also to put people back to work with building roads, bridges. But unfortunately, there was just not enough support or time for that type of larger agreement. That failure comes with a cost. With the messy nature over the last several weeks as meek business on certain. And consumers less confident. But we are continuing to chip away, step by step. Last year i sent it signed into 1. 7 trillion dollars into overseas production. Tonight will for early further reduce the deficit with 620 million in revenue for the wealthiest americans and will be more deficitreduction as congress decides what to do what the automatic spending cuts. That now, will be delayed for the next two months. Let me make this point. As i demonstrated for the past several weeks im very open to confidence. And i agree with the democrats, republicans that the aging population and a rising cost of health care. Makes medicare the biggest contributor to our deficit. I believe that we need to find reform without hurting seniors. That count on it to survive. And i believe there is further unnecessary spending that we could eliminate. But, we cannot simply cut our way towards prosperity. Cutting spending past two go hand in hand with four reporters to our tax code. The wealthiest corporations, individuals cannot takes advantage of loopholes. And we cannot keep cutting things like basic research for new technology and still expect to succeed in a 21st century economy. We are going to continue to move forward in deficitreduction but you would in a balanced way. To make sure the we are growing at making sure the we get a handle on where spending. One last point i want to make. While we negotiate over several things are will not have another debate with this congress over weather or not they should pay the bills that they have already racked up. Through laws they have already passed. Let me repeat. We cannot not pay bills that we have already incurred. Congress refuses to give the United States government the ability to pay these bills on time. The consequences for the entire Global Economy will be catastrophic. Far worse than the fiscal cliff. If you remember in 2011, the last time this course of march and was threatened, the entire recovery was put at risk. The super confidence plunged Consumer Confidence plunged. We cannot go down that path. Todays agreement will chime in to the principle of the law as long as i am president. The deficit needs to be reduced with a more balanced budget. Everybody pays their fair share everybody does their part. That is how or our economy works best. The son of a total of all the budget agreements the we have reached so far proves that there is a payoff board. And it is possible if we focused not on our politics but on what is right for the country. The one thing that hopefully the new euro focus on is putting a package like this to gather. With less scare tactics. We are able to come together as democrats, republicans to cut spending and raise revenue that reduces our deficit, protect for middle class and provides avenues for people that are willing to work hard. For the investments that are necessary to grow, compete and we can settle this debate. Or at the very least not have it be consuming all the time that it stops to our host of creating and meeting challenges for immigration, infrastructure, protecting our planet from harmful climate change, and protecting our children from horrors of gun violence. It is not just a possibility, it is our obligation for future generations. Our work look forward to meet with each member of congress to meet this challenge in the new year. I hope that some people would get a couple of days off so that people can refresh themselves because were going to a lot of work to do in 2013. Thank you, everybody and happy new year. Catherine president obama has acknowledged that they have passed the physical cliff to deal. It was long and messy as he indicated. There are more deadlines to follow but at least for now this will avoid the automatic spending cuts and tax hikes. This will increase taxes for individuals making a 400,000, and groups of people earning 450,000 and avoid expiring the longterm benefits for the longterm jobless.

Meantime. In the midst of david akers struggles. The team has brought in another kicker. Billy cundiff was cundiff unfortunately best known for this miss in last years afc championship game going to the superbowl. The ravens cut him shortly thereafter he was picked up by the redskins before the season, only to be cut again back in october after he missed on 5 of his last 8 attempts. The 49ers will be his 11th team. There will always be a level of competition are round it. Akers meanwhile is having the worst season of his 14 year career. Two more misses career average. Odd considering akers is a 6 time pro bowler and one of the best in nfl history we certainly want to make the right decision, he has done a right decision. And it is difficult to believe that he has been cut from nine different teams now just an opinion but it would appear that harbaugh made this move to light a little competition will snap cant see cundiff a guy whose been cut by nine teams and hasnt played in three months sniffing the field 49ers.
