Georgia Republican Congressman Paul Broun talks fiscal cliff "Plan B": 'doesn’t deal with the whole problem...spending'

Only 13 days remain until the United States falls over the fiscal cliff, but a resolution and the future of your taxes is still up in the air. Congressman Paul Broun Broun is a Republican from Georgia. He joins “Early Start” to discuss the latest on the fiscal cliff negotiations.

Speaker John Boehner introduced a “Plan B” yesterday that would extend tax cuts for those making under a million a year. Rep. Broun says he hasn’t seen the entire plan, but says he leaned ‘no’ on the proposal yesterday.

Rep. Broun also claims that President Obama “has been missing in action on this” and is responsible for lack of growth in the economy. “This bill doesn’t deal with the whole problem,” Rep. Paul Broun says. “The real problem is spending. We’ve got to deal with this problem and the president has been unwilling to do so.”
