The “Cliff” that Harry refers to is a misnomer. The renewal of the Bush era tax cuts is something they didn’t want to do in the Democrat Senate, so its still not happening. They didn’t want to agrue and pass a debt ceiling increase, so that is still a slammed door we are going to hit. They don’t want to pass any decrease in spending, in fact they want to spend 50% more, so the sequester slams to defense and other programs will come into play — they planned that all along. They are now going on four years without a complying with the law and passing a budget — an item they don’t even muster a single vote for their party’s President’s version.
Its not a cliff, it is the train wreck they have been planning to create.
