A Democratic aide says the White House and congressional Republicans have reached an agreement to avert the so-called fiscal cliff.
The measure would extend Bush-era tax cuts for family incomes below $450,000 and briefly avert across-the-board spending cuts set to strike the Pentagon and domestic agencies this week.
Vice President Joe Biden was set to sell the agreement to Senate Democrats at a meeting at the Capitol on Monday night.
The aide required anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.

This is a waste of time. They MUST take away Obama’s credit card.
Tentative ‘fiscal cliff’ deal reached in Senate

“every other website”
theyeshivaworld is quoting it from the AP which is one of the biggest and most quoted news sources. Also, Reuters has it.
Ywn seriously has ruach hakodesh. 20 minutes later cnn had it as “breaking news”. The chance of this passing the house is zero
No-one knows more, but what is known is that whenever they do eventually finalize that which is being tacitly worked out today, it is going to retroactive from tonite, and you won’t be tumbling down the cliff, because the politicians don’t want to tumble down at mid-term elections November 2014.
Those are large organizations that move slowly. Everybody gets the same information, but YWN can move faster to get it out.
LBK, YWN provided a source. Look it up.
Apparently so.
