Fiscal Cliff: Democrat and Republican views

To start things off, what is the "fiscal cliff"? From what I read over my research the "fiscal cliff" is the analogy used to describe a series of tax cuts and government spending cuts by the U.S government. There are two probable outcomes if the federal government would pass these laws. On the negative view, this will bring the economy down to a recession and the tax rate will increase. On the positive view, it will cut the federal budget deficit. President Obama and democrats want to approve these laws and only tax people who make $250,000 or more per year. Republicans on the other hand believe that this won't improve the economy but wreck it.They believe it will impact the big businesses and they will go broke as well.

I used a few tools while using Google to help me with my research. Some were helpful but others were irrelevant. I used the "most relevant" and "related searches" search tools and those were the most helpful. I also used the operator "OR" for my search. All of these tools help to narrow down the websites that were more reliable than the others. They gave me related topics like "fiscal cliff republicans" and it gave me the republican view of the "fiscal cliff". The operator "OR" gave me websites on both views of my search. The "any time" tool was not helpful because it just gave me the same websites and there was no adversity. All these tools are cool to use but i don't see myself using a lot of them for my research.
