UPDATE: The House will return for legislative business on Sunday. The House has already passed, and I have supported, two bills that would avert the fiscal cliff, not raise taxes on any American, and cut spending. Both bills await action in the Senate. It is time for the Senate to finally get serious about the root of the problem: spending. The American people should not have to continue subsidizing the reckless decisions made by Washington politicians. We got here by spending too much, not taxing too little.
