WASHINGTON (WUSA) - Friday marks 10 days until the nation hits the "fiscal cliff." 

President Obama has said he will continue to ask Congress to prevent a "fiscal cliff" and avoid tax increases in January. 

Thursday, congressional Republicans put off a vote on back-up legislation, House Speaker Bouehner's "Plan B." The plan called for higher tax rates on households earning at least $1 million. It did not have enough support from lawmakers.

Delia Goncalves has the latest on the negotiations.
