Madam Speaker, when Chairman Bernanke first coined the\nphrase the ``fiscal cliff,'' he was really describing the perfect\nstorm. The fiscal cliff is not only sequestration, the impact of the\nBudget Control Act, but also includes and is not limited to the\nexpiration of the Bush tax cuts, unemployment insurance, the SGR, the\nAMT patch, the debt limit, other tax provisions. Ergo the perfect\nstorm--major issues that this Republican-controlled House will not\naddress until the wealthy are protected.\n  We must address a sufficient number of these provisions to avert the\nperfect storm. To do so, we must look to the building of public\nconfidence so that we can continue steady growth in the economy and\njobs, the true way to avert the cliff. This is why we must do what is\nbest for the middle and working class first: extend the Bush taxes for\nthe middle class, extend unemployment insurance, SGR, the AMT patch,\ndelay the sequestration--those items which we can all agree upon. We've\ngot to get to work.\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-PgH7477-5"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 21.273466991260648, "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"}
