Fiscal Cliff Response

The Fiscal Cliff is a debate that the Republicans and the Democrats are having. The Republicans are in favor of cutting funds and spending. They also want to keep taxes the same and avoid raising them. The Democrats are in favor of spending more. In order to spend more, they also want to raise taxes. The end results are going to favor one side or another.

Specifying my search by adding more descriptive words really helped find better sources. Adding words like "Republican" or "Democrats" or "policy" helped. When looking for trustworthy sources, I made sure they were known names and usually some of the tops results. As I went lower on the list of results, the sources seemed to get untrustworthy.
