A bigger reason than that, the tax cuts were passed in 2003 using budget reconcilation which puts an automatic expiration date on them.

Here’s why

1) They couldnt get 60 in the senate to pass it so they took the shortcut above

2) it was not CBO scored as deficit neutral, if it was neutral then it wouldnt expire

The fiscal cliff at the end of the year is just a speed bump compared to the real fiscal cliff that is looming.
