House GOP Frustrated on Sidelines of Cliff Negotiations

Chris Maddaloni/CQ Roll Call
Catholics United holds a press conference in front of the Capitol on Wednesday to rebut the GOP budget efforts in the ongoing fiscal cliff fight. The group says Republicans should side with the 98 percent of taxpayers who won’t be affected by “taxes on the rich.”

The deadline pressure could start forcing the sides to move together, but sources in both parties and chambers seemed resigned Wednesday to the notion that they will break for two days at most for the holiday and then return for the remainder of December.
