Former United States President George W. Bush smiles as he watches a baseball game between the Detroit Tigers and the Texas Rangers, Friday, Aug. 10, 2012, in Arlington, Texas. (LM Otero/AP Photo) Editor's Note: This is the latest in an ongoing series about the building blocks that lawmakers could put on the table as they search for a deal to avert the fiscal cliff. Determining whether the nation heads over the "fiscal cliff" in the New Year could come down to an agreement on how to deal with the Bush era tax cuts, which are set to expire at the end of the month. Democrats want to extend the tax cuts for the middle class while letting them expire for the top 2 percent of earners, specifically individuals making more than $200,000 a year or households bringing in more than $250,000 annually.

"That would make it even more difficult to buy the groceries we need to pay the rent, pay the childcare, pay for clothes. All of those things, they have to come from somewhere."

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
