Obama called on congressmen to solve the problem of "financial cliff"

The White House spokesman Jay Carney said that US President Barack Obama will impose a veto on any bill that grants a reduction in taxes for the rich.

Obama in his first public speech after the presidential election on November 6 called on the leaders of the democratic and republican parties to act as soon as possible in order to prevent the so -called “financial cliff” - a situation in which the termination of tax benefits coincides with the reduction of government agents.

Having stated that he was ready to compromise, Obama at the same time noted that he would not make any decision if it is not balanced.

The speaker of the House of Republican representatives John Beiner a day earlier told ABC News that the Republicans will continue to oppose tax increased for the rich.

According to observers, if by the end of this year the congress cannot make a decision on a budget deficit, the United States may fall into a recession, which will damage the global economy.
