Can I ask, why aren’t we in FAVOR of going off the fiscal cliff? Government needs to be called to account for its mismanagement, it’s not going to happen so long as it successfully just keeps on pushing the problems they’ve created under the rug for a later generation to deal with.
It’s the same problem with paying your taxes. If the government made you write them a check every pay period, instead of doing an automatic deduction, there would be rioting in the streets when people realized how much they are being ripped off for.
I am not in favor of going over the Fiscal Cliff Claven. But I don’t see any other way that government is going to make meaningful cuts to its spending. Look, meltdown, in one form or another is now inevitible. Might as well bring it on sooner rather than later.
