In very brief comments at the Capitol Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said Republicans continue to work to avert the fiscal cliff. “And I hope the President will get serious soon about providing and working with us on a balanced approach,” he said.

Boehner said the House on Thursday will pass his “Plan B” proposal, which would extend the Bush-era tax cuts for families earning $1 million or less a year.
