Madam Speaker, if we fail to act on the remaining day of\nthe 112th Congress, this Congress will be remembered as one which\nignored the will of the people. If we fail to act, a typical middle\nclass family of four would see its taxes rise by $2,200 starting in\n2013. This means less money to buy groceries, gas and pay the bills.\n  According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, going over\nthe cliff would raise the unemployment rate from 7.9 percent to 9.1\npercent in 2013. Losing that many jobs would plunge our Nation back\ninto a recession and put an economic recovery even further out of\nreach. We would be putting jobs on the altar for tax cuts for the\nwealthiest Americans who have already seen their tax rate plummet to\nhistoric lows.\n  It's time that we put an end to the era of trying to balance budgets\non the backs of the middle class, and it's time that we take steps to\navoid setting our economic recovery up for failure. We all want a\nbetter resolution than simply jumping off the fiscal cliff.\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-PgH7478-6"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 31.14023501984775, "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"}
