In Foreign Affairs, Sam Pepple uses data from the Tax Policy Center to illustrate what’s actually being negotiated when it comes to the fiscal cliff. The graphic details the tax increases and cuts that are being discussed and shows how tax rates would be affected if there is no deal reached before the end of the year.

For more information on the fiscal cliff, see this CFR backgrounder.
