BREAKING: House GOP offers fiscal cliff counterproposal

(CNN) – House Republicans are making a counter-offer Monday to the White House on a fiscal cliff deal, but they continue to reject President Barack Obama's call for higher tax rates on the wealthy.

The new proposal to avoid the fiscal cliff would bring $2.2 trillion in savings over the next decade. These would include $800 billion from tax reform, $600 billion from Medicare reforms and other health savings, and $600 billion in other spending cuts, House GOP leadership aides said Monday.

    The GOP lost the election. Embarassingly and significantly. Now they are deparately trying to play poker with Obama.
    They are equally bad at that. They are born losers, out of date, old, white men. They are going down now and forever.
