Newsroom continues. Good morning, happening in the newsroom dodging the fiscal cliff crisis for now. With all of the talk about spending less why are lawmakers giving billions to businesses that are already thriving . Well show you who is cashing in. Party crashers, republicans split over the tax deal and the core values of the gop and that strained unity faces a bigger test as a new deadline looms over spending cuts. While the gop licks its wounds, wall street gets ready to celebrate. U. S. Stocks set to open higher as markets around the world trade higher on the deal. And they told us to basically drop dead. Thats how one new yorker is reportedly characterizing the house after ending the session without sending any sandy relief to the northeast. Everybody played by the rules, except tonight, when the rug was pulled out from under us, inexcusable, indefensible. Newsroom starts right now. Good morning, im Victor Blackwell sitting in for carol costello. 11th hour drama, congress swerves
Back. The president catching a lot of heat for his latest Budget Proposal and even some republican lawmakers say it wont fly in congress. Who wins . Who loses . Whats next . We start with health care and the big sales push from the white house. Time is running short. Theyre aiming for a thursday vote in the house on their obama care replacement bill. The president claimed he is gaining more republican support, but theres a significant block of republicans who still say they wont vote for it. Vice president pence is trying to shore up support today making the case to Small Business owners in jacksonville, florida. It is the second weekend in a row he has done that. Pence had one message, obama care must go. Florida cant afford obama care anymore. Job creators in florida cant afford it either. I heard it. [ applause ] i heard it earlier today the Small Businesses represented here. They told me that obama care hits them with mandates, regulations, higher taxes, and high are costs. Msnbcs
