WASHINGTON -- After a contentious election, another political battle is brewing in Washington, this one with potentially serious consequences for the US economy. Both sides staked out their positions Friday on what to do about the so-called "fiscal cliff" - a combination of tax hikes and spending cuts that would automatically take place at the end of the year. Economists warn failure by US lawmakers could send the economy into another tailspin.

Fresh from his election victory, President Barack Obama sounded conciliatory Friday - inviting congressional and business leaders to the White House next week to begin discussions on a deficit reduction plan. The president said he is open to all ideas, but pushed back against any plan that relies solely on spending cuts to reduce the nation's debt.

"We can't just cut our way to prosperity. If we're serious about reducing the deficit, we have to combine spending cuts with revenue, and that means asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more in taxes," said Obama.

Republicans say tax hikes on the wealthy would result in massive job losses.

Speaking an hour before the president, House Speaker John Boehner said he would support some revenue increases as part of overall tax reforms. But the Republican congressional leader wants to extend the deadline for negotiations to work out differences.

"2013 should be the year we begin to solve our debt through tax reform and entitlement reform, and I'm proposing we avert the fiscal cliff together in a manner that insures that 2013 is the year that our government finally comes to grips with the major problems that are facing us," said Boehner.

Automatic tax increases and drastic cuts to defense and domestic spending kick in January 1, 2013 unless Congress is able to craft a plan to reduce the nation's nearly $16-trillion debt.

After campaigning for months on allowing tax cuts to expire only for wealthy Americans, Obama said the time for "drama and negotiations" is over.

"Nobody, not Republicans, not Democrats want taxes to go up for folks making under $250,000 a year. So let's not wait. Even as we're negotiating a broader deficit reduction package, let's extend the middle class tax cuts right now, let's do that right now," said the president.

Uncertainty over the US fiscal crisis has roiled financial markets for weeks. The Congressional Budget Office says the combination of higher taxes and reduced spending could cut the deficit in half. But it would also push the world's largest economy into a recession, cost millions of jobs and threaten economic growth in other countries.
