Democrats. DUH!

They're the ones who have been enslaving and robbing the producing class for years. They've stolen so much to buy their votes for so many years, the slaves don't have anything left to steal.

Which party will be blamed? Why the Republicans of course. Which party caused it? The commie ‘RATS. The ‘RATS get a free pass because of their commie zombies in the state controlled “media”. The “media” with the little princess who congratulates and fawns over Barry Benghazi instead of asking him a question that he might have to answer with another lie. She just couldn’t control her “lady parts” at the “media’s” love fest and worship service at the alter of Barry yesterday.

It’s Bush’s fault, of course.

Above all and everything, it positively and certainly CANNOT be Obama’s fault, no, no, no, no a thousand times no, it can never be Obama’s fault.

He’s too busy walking on water to ever deserve blame for anything that happens in the United States or in the world, that’s just a racist conspiracy that emerges from the White race’s hatred of Black people and deserves no consideration, as everyone in the press and academia will tell you so it must be true so, no, it can’t be Obama’s fault and it stands to reason then that it’s Bush’s fault.

Now hand me my welfare check and my food stamps and f*ck off.

As a side note to the fiscal cliff, I haven't seen anybody ask the following question about how much the federal government should be costing taxpayers per year, so here it goes.

First, note that Justice John Marshall had officially clarified that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In other words, Congress is actually prohibited from laying taxes in the name of Social Security, Medicare and a whole lot of other federal taxing and spending programs that the states have never delegated to Congress via the Constitution the specific powers to regulate.

But here's my rough estimate as to how much Section 8 of Article I of the Constitution should be costing taxpayers per year. Given that the plurality of Section 8 clauses are defense related, and given that the Department of Defense (DoD) budget for 2011 was $600+ billion, I will generously round up the annual DoD budget to $1 trillion as a rough estimate for how much Section 8 should be costing taxpayers.

In other words, we shouldn't be hearing about multi-trillion dollar federal budgets that the corrupt media, including Fox News imo, is reporting without mentioning Justice Marshall's case precedent which limits Congress's power to lay taxes.

The correct answer of course is BOTH PARTIES. And anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.

Correct answer!
