		<description><![CDATA[ The day after Barack Obama was re-elected President, attention turned to Americas fiscal cliff, despite there being nary a reference to it in the campaign.On January 1, various tax reductions end and automatic expenditure cuts take effect. In total, this budgetary precipice amounts to 5% of GDP; going over the edge would cause the US economy to contract sharply. Because the US GDP is such a large chunk of the world economy, the international economy would suffer, too. ]]></description>
