When President Obama returns from his Asia trip on Wednesday, he's expected to resume talks with lawmakers over the so-called fiscal cliff. They opened their negotiations on Friday as part of efforts to avoid spending cuts and tax hikes that could happen if they don't agree on ways to raise revenue and trim spending by Jan. 1.
