I vote to jump off the fiscal cliff. For 30-40 years our leaders have told us that if we don’t give more of our income to the government, or if we don’t give up some of our freedoms, the country will collapse.

But after 30-40 years of scare tactics, I’ve had enough of the “crying wolf.” I’m ready to take the plunge and see what happens. I’m ready to call their bluff...

Honest economic models show that the “fiscal cliff” will do some harm to our country - but that failure to cut federal spending (regardless of tax changes) will do far more harm. I’m all for austerity, mandatory cuts, the fiscal cliff, or whatever the elite ruling class wants to call a small step toward responsible spending.

Cowboy I was thinking the same thing.
Remember when Jimmah told us the world would run out of crude oil in 20 years. That was 30 years ago. I said then hell lets use it all up in 5 years so we can then work on a new energy source.
F--- the cliff we need to remove one ZERO.

Same here.

Let the northeast Obama voters pay ever increasing fuel bills with less money.

Way I have it figured, a cold Yankee with an empty belly is easier to negotiate with than a warm Yankee with a full belly.
