Voters asked for this. Let them have what they voted for.
The repiublicans will cave but the great unsaid here is that this fiscal pain would right the deficit and in that sense would be an enormous boost to our economy.
Because duh just spending more and more, and not taxing anyone to pay for it, is the real “fiscal cliff”.
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!
