So how big is the Fiscal Cliff? It could be twice the economic growth of 2012. As a matter of fact, the size of the coming economic contraction could exceed the GDP growth of the United States each year for the last 20 years! The Congressional Budget Office warns of a possible 6% drop in GDP and the loss of up to 2 Million jobs.
All of this is fueled, of course, by partisan bickering in Washington as political paralysis has set in and neither Democrats nor Republicans seem willing to waiver from their fixed positions on taxing and spending. So without any direct, congressional intervention before the end of the year, over $600 billion in fiscal shock is looming.
Why should consumers care? The tax increases amount to dollars and cents that will hit every American’s pay check. No one will be spared as taxes will increase for every tax payer in the country. Here is some of the Fiscal Cliff fallout:
· 95% of Middle Income families will see their taxes rise
· Payroll Taxes will go back up to their 6.2% high
· The Child Tax Credit will be cut in half
· After-
· New Affordable Care taxes on investment income will kick-in
