The Fiscal Cliff, according to Mattea Kramer, is not a cliff but rather an obstacle course. It is a series of different federal budget cuts and tax increases that are to be taken place by next year. They are referred to as the word "cliff" because, if it actually took effect in 2013, it would be a major setback in our economy according to Kramer. On the Democrats side, The Affordable Act, which would be talking about Obamacare, includes a handful of taxes will affect high-income americans and some medical industry/ device manufacturers. The taxes will go into effect right on schedule, but won't have much of a big impact right away on the economy. Finally for the Republicans, the Bush-era tax cuts for the high-income set. Obama has announced that he will veto this if anyone tried to put it in play. And by ending these tax cuts for the wealthy would bring in a lot of money
to reduce deficits or increase funding for cash starving priorities like for example: higher education.
All the google strategies that i used, or actually the first two that i used i did not/had a hard time using. Well besides the OR tool that one was pretty useful and helpful. Found a bunch of information i needed for the topic that it made my head hurt. Boy, i did not know that just typing in the word "OR" would make a whole lot of a difference for researching my topic. This right here is definitely something i can add to my 'New Book' list. Basically something to keep in mind for the future. It will help me with senior project that's all i know! :)
