The ayes have it for US fiscal deal
(01-02 12:07)
The US fiscal cliff' crisis was finally averted as the House of Representatives approved a Senate bill that avoids tax increases for most Americans and delays automatic spending cuts.
The bill, which raises taxes on households earning above US$450,000 and delays spending decisions for two months, was approved by the House in a 257-167 vote and now goes to President Barack Obama's desk for signature.
