Complaints have become common that the ftc has filed complaints. It is now federal law to disclose fees. Breaking news out of washington. Were going to the white house where president obama is about to give a statement on the fiscal cliff. We also want to ask the wealthiest americans to pay a little more. It affects everyone striving to get into the middle class. I still want to get this done. Its the right thing to do for our families, for our businesses, for our entire economy. The hour for immediate action is here. It is now. We are now at the point where in just four days, every americans tax returns but rigid schedule to got by law. Every americans paychecks will get considerably smaller. That would be the wrong thing to do for our economy, middleclass families, and it would be bad for businesses that depend on family spending. Fortunately, congress can prevent it from happening if they act now. I just had a good and constructive discussion with senate and house leadership about how to prevent this tax hike on the middle class. Im optimistic we still may be able to Reach Agreement that can pass both houses in time. Senators reid m. Mcconnell are working on such an agreement as we speak. If an agreement is not reached in time between senator reed era senator mcconnell, i will urge senator reid to bring to the floor a basic package for an up or down vote, one never texting middleclass from a tax hike and extends the vital lifeline of Unemployment Insurance to 2 million americans looking for a job, and lays the groundwork for future cooperation on Economic Growth down the opposite reduction. I can hear you over here. I believe such a proposal could pass both houses with a bipartisan majority as long as the leaders allow this to come to a vote. If members of the house or the senate want to vote no, they can. We should let everybody vote. Thats the way this is supposed to work. If you get a majority in the house and senate, then we should be able to pass a bill. The American People are watching what we do here. Their patience is already thin. This is deja vu all over again. America wonders why it is you cannot get stuff done in this town in an organized timetable. Why does everything always have to wait until the last minute . We are now at the last minute. The American People will not have any patients for a politically selfinflicted wound to our economy not now. The economy is growing, but sustaining that trend is going to require elected officials to do their jobs. The Housing Market is recovering, but that could be impacted if people are seeing smaller paychecks. The Unemployment Rate is the lowest it has been since 2008, but already were saying consumers starting hold back because of the disfunction they see in washington. Economists, business leaders, they all think that we are poised to grow in 2013 as long as politics in washington do not get in the way of american progress. We have to get this done. I just want to repeat that we had a constructive meeting today. Senators reid and mcconnell are discussing a potential agreement where we can get a bipartisan bill out of the senate and over to the house done in a timely sessions so that we meet the december 31st deadline. Given how things have been working in this town, we always have to wait and see until actually happens. The one thing the American People should not have to wait and see is some sort of action. If we dont see an agreement between the two leaders in the senate, i expect a bill to go to the floor. I have asked senator reid to do this. But a bill on the floor to make sure taxes on middleclass families do not go up and it is Still Available for 2 million people. Lets not miss this deadline. They did not what the taxes go up. I just have to repeat. Outside of washington, nobody a understands how it is back this seems to be a repeat pattern. They sit down and they discuss things and then things happen. If there are disagreements, they sort through them. The notion that elected leadership cannot do the same thing is mindboggling. It needs to stock stop. I am modestly optimistic a deal can be agreed. No one is going to get 100 what they want, but lets make sure the middle class economy, the u. S. Economy, and the World Economy are not adversely affected. Thank you very much, everybody. You just heard from president obama talking about the meeting he had at the white house today with four congressional leaders. He said it was a good and constructive conversation.
