Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will deliver a statement Wednesday afternoon on the need for both Republicans and Democrats to find some agreement to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff — a combination of tax hikes and spending cuts that are scheduled for 2013.
Boehner's office said he would call on both sides to seek "common ground" to help the economy and create jobs, which in turn would help reduce the national debt.
Boehner is scheduled to speak at 3:30 p.m. in the Capitol. He'll speak just hours after Republicans maintained their hold on the House of Representatives.
Leaders from both parties have expressed optimism that finding cooperation on the fiscal cliff would be somewhat easier post-election. But Tuesday's vote essentially cemented in place the federal government that has wrangled over these issues for the past two year and failed to find common ground.

I’m a recent Texan myself (have to change my homepage).
Just sayin’ we don’t need any of those country-club politicians sticking their nose in where it might get smacked!
I think you got the right ideas, be prepared to move if that suits you, and pay attention to your nest egg, actually assets in more liquid form is depending on how close you are to retirement, if the inflation isn’t going to matter at your age, don’t take big risk in the stock market, buy necessities stocks, and have your liquidity too. And get to work at it now, don’t sit depressed, we all knew this wasn’t going to be the easy path, and you my friend are well prepared.
Seriously, get your butts out of urban areas real soon. You will not have enough ammo to protect yourselves. let them eat each other. That’s the thing they do and what they know, and don’t give yourself to them to feed on. Get out. Let your local Hurricane Sandy’s happen without you being in the middle of these people. They’ll shred each other and if they start coming for people outside their areas you can band together and form lines of defense.
One thing that really makes this Texan prouder today is that we sent Ted Cruz to the US Senate!
He’s a very fine conservative.........
Sounds like we didn’t lose Barney Frank after all.
What happens to ordinary people in the next two years if we go over the cliff.
Very close to 1929 right now big lay offs are starting wouldn’t be surprised if a run on the banks start.
