More of the same The House Republican leadership had a brief press availability Wednesday morning in which they broke absolutely no news, but insisted that a) President Obama's fiscal cliff plan is "mainly tax hikes," b) that the White House refuses to be specific on spending cuts, c) that "it's time to address our spending problem," and d) "we've got some serious differences." In other words, they are holding steadfastly to their increasingly unpopular position of refusing to budge and refusing to provide their own detailed spending cuts or where they're willing to go on revenue. The only real news out of House leadership today is Eric Cantor threatening his caucus that they might actually have to do some work this month, for a change. He's announced that lawmakers shouldn't make travel plans between now and Christmas eve.
