Analysts warn that capping charitable deductions could shrink giving, forcing colleges to raise tuition. Steven Bloom of the American Council on Education says lawmakers risk unintended consequences if they act hastily before year end.

Auto sales rise in November aided by Sandy impact
U S auto sales jumped in November with gains at Toyota and Chrysler while GM lagged with a 3 percent rise. Analysts cite consumer confidence, rising home values and easy financing as demand drivers. Sandy added 20 000 to 30 000 industry wide purchases, and GM foresees 50 000 to 100 000 vehicles needing replacement from storm damage. Fiscal cliff uncertainty looms over the outlook, potentially throttling growth.
