- What to make of the Senate's interim Fiscal Cliff deal? Too early to tell right now. But we do know this. The Senate's version will do nothing to address the deficit or the debt. In fact, the deal means for every $41 in tax increases the government will cut spending by $1 (Breitbart). The thresholds have been raised to $400K for single income earners and $450K for married couples. In addition, the 27% cuts in fees to physicians for Medicare was slashed. The inheritance tax hike will go from 35% to 40% instead of to 55% on estates worth more than $5 million. And they included preserving the earned-income credit, child tax credit for another 5 years. Unemployment benefits will be extended through 2013. The House will be meeting on the Senate bill at 1 p.m. today.
