All we need is one.... Obamanation
Can the media stop saying “cliff” for their masters ?
Many people understand that there is only one budgetary problem the government has: overspending.
Specifically to government employee cost and vendor payments and giveaway programs to working-age freeloaders.
The taxes received that are supposed to pay for those things (i.e., NOT SS/MED withholdings, but FIT) are nowhere near enough to pay for them.
And when the GOP demands fiscal cuts? What will we get?
Cuts in entitlements? Cuts in BS unionized federal pukes riding the gravy train?
Nope. The cuts will be MILITARY and defense spending (preferably in red states, of course).
Then the DNC will hang that around the necks of the GOP fools and tell them that they "gave them the cuts they wanted".

I would like to see a poll of FReepers.
How many think the USA will be the USSA, and/or fail.
Since I bailed out long before Obumbo’s imaculation, it affects me only when Social Security fails.
I would not accept any agreement that does not provide for a 10% cut in the federal payroll.
It seems like there are only four distinct possibilities: (all bad?)
a) We keep borrowing 1.2 Trillion every year.
b) Raise revenue thereby take money out of the private economy.
c) Cut government spending and take money from those at the trough. (My personal favorite, but the defense industry doesn’t seem to like it.)
d) Print a whole lot of money and have inflation pay for it all.
Which option is not a fiscal cliff (at least by the common definition)
