I am a low Middle income citizen and I have to admit that tax hikes on my savings doesn’t bother me too much.

I have around $100,000 dollars worth of Life Savings, tied up in CD’s, and these CD’s are earning me .15% interest. If he takes all that I earn in interest he isn’t going to kill me, if he can save the world with my $150.00 then I wish him well.What frightend me worst is when Obma hyper inflation hits me , I will be left with nothing for a life’s work.

Brother, your dollar-denominated investments are going to shrink to a fraction of their current buying power.

Liquidate them and buy precious metals. Get out of the dollar!

There will be no deal. The Bush tax cuts will evaporate and really won't impact on taxes due until 2014. There are only 10 working days left before the congresscritters go home for Christmas. Thus the real deal will happen in the new congress.
The “cliff” is just Marxist chatter.
