Gentler way to solve the crisis in the federal budget. Heres how treasury secretary tim geithner put it on cnbc. Is the administration prepared to go over the fiscal cliff . Absolutely. Again there is no prospect to an agreement that doesnt involve those rates going up on the top 2 of the wealthiest americans. Remember, its only 2 .

With no agreement, going over the fiscal cliff would be painful. The automatic tax increases break down like this households making 20,000 to 40,000 would see an increase in 1,200 a year. Incomes of 40,000 to 64,000 would see taxes rise 2,000 and in the 64,000 to 108,000 bracket taxes go up 3,500 a year.

The potential impact that furloughs would have on air travel, starting in april. Transportation secretary ray lahood said travelers could face new delays of 90 minutes at major airports in chicago, new york and san francisco. More than 100 air control towers at smaller airports could be closed, lahood said. Airlines likely would cancel flights. And congress, he said, would hear of the fallout. Its not only the impact on the passengers, its the impact that it has on airports, control towers, people who work there, airports. And their phones are going to start ringing. Why does this have to happen . Nobody likes a delay. Nobody likes waiting in line. None of us do.
