This was not the big announcement about an agreement on the fiscal cliff. The president did acknowledge theres been progress and he spoke while surrounded by americans who he pointed out cannot afford a tax hike.

One, as far as tax hikes are involved republican and democrats have agreed taxes would not go up for families that make less than 450,000 a year or individuals who make less than 400,000 a year. As far as Unemployment Benefits thats could be extended. The president mentioned tuition tax credit extended. Where theres still a great divide is automatic spending cuts. The deal on table brokered mostly by mcconnell and biden overnight, would delay those spending cuts for three months. Some democrats have said they want them delayed one year. Still issues left to resolve. But were hopeful that congress can get it done. It is not done.
