Avoiding The Fiscal Cliff

another reason conservatives should consider standing back, as suggested here:

Obama won an electoral landslide. The people have said he deserves 4 more years. So, stand down. Voice the ideas why you think wrong, but do nothing to hinder; that's to legislators, not posters.

Give these policies 18 months, then start with questions based on where the economy, unemployment, health care costs, foreign issues are at that point in time.

If all are improving, seems the people did the smart pull of the lever. If not, going to be impossible to paint the problem with the opposition.

I agree. Do nothing. Let the negotiated cuts and tax increases kick in. We can test how well Democrat policies work and then let them run on the resulting catastrophe in 2014.



Just look at the election....

The Pod People don't care about consequences.

Obama sez elections have consequences. Here ya go. The GOP should not pull the Dem bacon from the fire. I know the press will blame the GOP. But they'll do that no matter what.

If the kept electing FDR through his Great Depression they can certainly keep electing Obozo through his.
 
Go go go..Fiscal Cliff!




And now for your daily teachable moment:


"Ex-GAO head: US debt is three times more than you think
The former U.S. comptroller general says the real U.S. debt is closer to about $65 trillion than the oft-cited figure of $18 trillion.


Dave Walker, who headed the Government Accountability Office (GAO) under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, said when you add up all of the nation’s unfunded liabilities, the national debt is more than three times the number generally advertised.

“If you end up adding to that $18.5 trillion the unfunded civilian and military pensions and retiree healthcare, the additional underfunding for Social Security, the additional underfunding for Medicare, various commitments and contingencies that the federal government has, the real number is about $65 trillion rather than $18 trillion, and it’s growing automatically absent reforms,”...."

it seems to me the only solution is to make debt illegal!!
