Madam Speaker, here we are on New Year's Eve working to\navoid this latest fiscal cliff. Of course, if you wonder why we're\nhere, just look at the fact that we shouldn't have to be here.\n  Back on August 1, this House, with a bipartisan vote, passed a bill\nthat would have avoided this fiscal cliff. It would have protected\nevery American family from seeing a tax increase. The bill passed on\nAugust 1, and it's been sitting over in the Senate every day since\nthen. But here we are on New Year's Eve, and the Senate is finally\nrolling up their sleeves and working to avoid this crisis.\n  Well, here we are at another crisis, and, unfortunately, as we look\ntowards this New Year tomorrow, this is not the last time that we may\nbe here. We passed a budget here in the House months ago. It's been\nmore than 3 years since the Senate passed a budget, yet months from now\nwe'll be hearing another cliff approaching of a government shutdown\nbecause the Senate hasn't passed a budget.\n  It's time for the Senate to start doing their work and stop creating\nthese crises and forcing American families to wonder what's going to\nhappen next and what's going to be the next crisis. We should not have\nany American family facing a tax increase. Let's get the American\neconomy on track.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2012-12-31-pt1-PgH7477-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 48.03658102173358, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
