Like it or not it is done. You can feel better knowing that they promised to take up the issue of spending at a later date... www.voanews.com/content/some-us-lawmakers-balking-at-fiscal-cliff-deal/1575957.htmlMembers of the U.S. House of Representatives have approved a Senate-passed bill that would avert the so-called "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax increases and mandated spending cuts. The Republican-dominated House passed the legislation 257 to 167 after three days of intense negotiations. The Senate passed the measure in the early morning hours of Tuesday. It will now go to President Obama for his signature. Some conservative House members wanted to add more spending cuts to the plan, but did not have enough support among their fellow lawmakers to take such action. Aides to the Senate Democratic leadership had told reporters that chamber would not take up any bill that was amended by the House.
