The people deserve what they voted for, let ‘em have it. Income tax rates up, Social Security withholding up, health care taxes up, capital gains up, dividends tax up, estate tax up. Voters get the government they deserve and hopefully they’ll get it hard!

Let it burn. No pain no gain.

Some say let’s do nothing and let it go over the cliff, blaming the real culprit, Obama and his pals. But, of course, the GOP would take the blame. It will not go over the cliff. Even if our side stands firm, Obama will declare a national emergency do what he wants. He is not bound by the Constitution. Then he will be praised.

The consequences of inaction will deliver a dramatic, short-term blow to the economy,
absolutely right!!!
The government stayed out of the 1920 depression (the one no one talks about) and it was over in just over one year.
FDR extended the 1929 depression to 12 years by intervening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amerika is nothing more than a version of France with crappy architecture, rampant crime and fat, slovenly people. It`s just a landmass to me right now.
Americans have betrayed their Constitution and thrown away their individual rights. America may as well just be a landmass.

Baucus said in a statement. We need to build a bridge over this fiscal cliff. We need to work together...And the bridge will merely span a little further across the gap and stop where the chasm is a bit deeper...

This says fewer help wanted signs will be hanging in the windows. There can’t be fewer than zero.
